I would like to post this call for proposals from EARTHWATCH and The Center for
Field Research. Earthwatch has been successfully supporting anthropological
research throughout the world since 1972 via "participant funding." As a
non-profit organization, our goals are two-fold relating to research and
education: 1) to support high quality field research in the life, physical, and
social sciences and in the humanities, and 2) to forge bonds of understanding
and support between the research community and the public, which is the
ultimate constituency and beneficiary of all scholarly endeavors. Additional
information is available as indicated below.
In addition too the call for proposals, this posting also includes a facsimile
of the CFR preliminary proposal form. Submission of this form is the first
step in the application process. This office responds to preliminary proposals
within one week of receipt. If Earthwatch support seems appropriate to the
proposed research, CFR will invite a full proposal for peer review (format
instructions and subject headings available on request). CRITICAL DETAIL: due
to the complexities of volunteer recruitment, the full proposal must be
submitted about one year prior to the projected start of fieldwork. All the
applicants planning too begin fieldwork with Earthwatch support during the
spring or summer of 1995 or later are advised to contact CFR as soon as
possible.
(For those using Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, the call for proposals and
Preliminary Proposal form are also attatched as formatted enclousures.)
