With this goal in mind, we are pleased to announce that we will award 5 individual potential authors a grant of up to $2,500 each to fund their natural history research. Our intent in providing this grant is to help authors who may not have adequate funding
 to complete their research in natural history. We especially encourage individuals who are at institutions of higher learning that do not focus on research but where research is still possible.</div>
