Description
The Georgia Ornithological Society (GOS) offers the Norene Boring Undergraduate Grant to support undergraduate research that contributes to ornithology. Projects must be primarily ornithological and conducted under faculty direction, with defined research goals and a statement explaining their contribution to the field. Preference is given first to research performed in Georgia, then to research elsewhere in the United States.
The program supports research expenses rather than salary, tuition, university overhead, or indirect costs. The Howe Grant Committee reviews applications and determines individual award amounts. The GOS Executive Committee determines the number of grants awarded each year based on the committee’s recommendation. The normal research cycle runs from October through May, and applications for renewal are permitted.
