Greetings! Save the Redwoods League is pleased to announce the 2018/19 Research Grants Program call for pre-proposals. Save the Redwoods League funds research that deepens our understanding of how to protect redwood forests in a changing environment. Proposals on all topics that advance conservation science for either coast redwood or giant sequoia ecosystems are welcome.
Both new and recurring applicants are strongly encouraged to discuss proposed research in advance of pre-proposal submission. Please contact Dr. Kristen Shive, Senior Scientist, at ksh...@savetheredwoods.org or (415) 820-5852 to discuss research ideas and how they fit with the League’s conservation mission, as well as ask general questions about the program. Pre-proposals from Principal Investigators (PI) or Co-PIs with past-due projects as of the pre-proposal closing date will not be considered. Past-due projects are those that are incomplete as of the completion date agreed upon in the grant agreement; the League will consider an extension of the completion date if appropriate, and if a progress report is provided. Please see Applicant Eligibility below for further information. Pre-proposals are due on September 18, 2018. If your Pre-proposal is selected by our review committee for further consideration, a complete application with full proposal will be due on November 8, 2018. Visit our website for more information and pre-proposal instructions (https://www.savetheredwoods.org/what-we-do/our-work/study/redwood- research/research-grant-application/#preproposal).
