EAS Foundation for Honey  Bee Research 
Call for Proposals,  2011 
The EAS Foundation  for Honey Bee Research is a competitive grant program 
developed from  donations received from beekeepers and others interested in 
 funding 
research on topical  problems in honey bees. Proposals are solicited 
annually with  award 
amounts to be  determined the spring before the EAS annual meeting. 
Requests for support  for student projects (undergraduate summer employees/ 
graduate student) or  for equipment/supplies for distinct research projects 
are given  highest 
priority. Requests  for “seed money” to provide investigators the 
opportunity to  collect 
preliminary data or  as “add on” funds to combine with other funding 
sources to  continue 
present research will  also be considered. We welcome separate discrete 
project  proposals 
and requests that  identify pieces of ongoing research programs where 
additional  funds 
can accomplish an  objective of a larger program. Grant funds may be used 
for  supplies, 
equipment, salaries,  travel, or other appropriate uses by the recipient. 
As a  nonprofit 
organization, the EAS  Foundation does not pay overhead on funded research  
grants. 
There will be one award  for $5000 in 2011. The award will be  announced at 
the EAS 
2011 Conference but  available by May 1, 2011. The principle investigator 
must  present 
their findings at the  2012 EAS Annual Conference, and we will publicize 
the award  to 
aid in solicitation  of additional funds for subsequent years. 
Deadline for application  is April 1, 2011. Additional submission  details 
can be 
found at  www.easternapiculture.org/honey-bee-research, and further 
inquiries can  be 
directed to David  Tarpy (EAS Foundation Chair) or Jim Bobb (EAS Chairman 
of  the 
Board) at  HoneyBeeResearch at easternapiculture.org. 
Proposal Submission  Criteria 
1. Proposals are  welcome from any individuals conducting research on honey 
 bees. 
The role the  investigator will perform if awarded the funds should be 
clearly  stated. 
2. Proposal should  briefly outline the objective and a plan of work, to be 
 completed 
within one year of  funding, and a justification for the proposed work. If  
intended 
as “seed money,” the  proposal should clearly state how the funds will 
enable  the 
investigator to  secure additional funding for project continuation. 
Proposals  should 
not exceed 5 written  pages in total length (double-spaced) excluding title 
 page, 
budget, and résumés.  Only  electronic submissions will be accepted.

3. Proposal must  indicate how results will be disseminated if grant is 
funded. Investigators  are encouraged to 
present their work to  a future EAS annual meeting and through the EAS 
journal (in summary form) if  at 
all possible but  other funds should be used for such dissemination. An 
acknowledgment of EAS  support 
should be included in  any presentations or publications resulting from the 
 research. 
4. The proposal  should be arranged in the following format: 
a) cover page to  include title, name, address, e-mail, and telephone of 
investigators(s) and  title/ 
affiliation of  investigator 
b)  justification 
c)  objective(s) 
d) project  description 
e) plan of  work/timetable 
f )  budget 
g) short (half page)  résumé of each participant 
h) name of principal  investigator to appear on every page of proposal 
(very  important) 
5. Electronic copy of  the proposal should be submitted by April 1, 2011 to 
the e-mail  account, 
HoneyBeeResearch at easternapiculture.org 
Proposal Review  Process 
EAS will review each  proposal with a three person proposal review board. 
One member is an elected  Director to 
the Board while the  remaining two are researchers (the Board member may be 
a researcher). None of  the panel 
will have a direct  connection to any research project for which a proposal 
has been submitted. In  cases of conflict 
that panel member  will be excused from voting. Evaluation of proposals 
will be made on the  following criteria: 
Scientific merit,  relevance of the proposed project to beekeeping, 
reasonableness of the budget  proposal to the 
actual work to be  performed, potential for securing or adding to funding 
from other sources, and  finally, interest 
of proposed research  to EAS members. All funds must be expended by June 
30, 2012 and an accounting  of 
expenditures made  available to the EAS treasurer by August 1, 2012.
