Success

Hard work pays off. This past fall while taking classes, writing a proposal, counting zooplankton, playing fetch with Henry, and dealing with a sore back, I applied for a grant through the University of Idaho. Just last week, the news came. I won the total amount...$2000. Whooo hoooo! this money will go to supporting the social aspect of my research project.

Next, I need to apply for more grants to fund the sediment monitoring aspect of my project. Finding the grants available is the hard first step. the second step of writing the grants is not an easy ride either.

Stay focused. 18 Months left to get this all done.

Dear Cindy,

On behalf of the Environmental Science Program Graduate Interdisciplinary Enhancement Fund (GIEF) grant committee, it is my pleasure to inform you that your proposal entitled “Potential Impacts of Solar Bee Long Distance Circulation Machine on Zooplankton, Cyanobacteria, and Recreational Activities” will be funded in the amount of $2,000. Congratulations!

Acceptance of this funding constitutes acceptance of full responsibility for the conduct, ethical performance and financial monitoring of the project and agreement to comply with University of Idaho policies and procedures, as well as applicable federal, state and local laws. You do not need to submit documentation of your expenditures to Environmental Science, however, appropriate use of the grant funds should be evident in your final Master’s thesis.

The awarded funds will be set up as a scholarship and you will receive a letter from Financial Aid notifying you that the funds have been made available in your account.

If you have any questions, please contact the Environmental Science Program at (208) 885-6113. Best wishes for success in your endeavors.

Sincerely,

Stephen S. Mulkey

Director, Environmental Science
