JAMES W. MARVIN AWARD IN SCIENCE AND CONSERVATION

The deadline for receipt of proposals is noon on April 7th, 2017.

The James W. Marvin Award in Science and Conservation was established to recognize and honor the interests and leadership of Dr. Marvin in the areas of botany, maple science, and conservation. The award is offered annually to a Vermont-based young professional in the early stages of his or her career (no more than five years after receipt of an advanced degree or beginning of career position) or a post-secondary or high-school student, to be used to forward the causes most cherished by Jim Marvin.

Awards will be made as the result of a competitive proposal process, in which applicants propose a project or activity in Vermont that forwards at least one of the aforementioned causes (botany, maple science, and conservation). Among the possible activities are participation in scientific research, funding related to an internship opportunity, and development of educational materials and programs, although this list is not exclusive.

The review committee is particularly interested in promoting proposals that leverage the award money to attract additional funding for a related Vermont-based project or projects.

It is the responsibility of the applicant to ascertain that proposals are submitted and received before the deadline.
