Graduate Student Fellowship

Award: $4,000
Deadline: February 1, 2014


Purpose and History
The Garden Club of America (GCA) Board of Associates Centennial Pollinator
Fellowship provides funding to a current graduate student to study the
causes of pollinator decline, in particular bees, bats, butterflies and
moths, which could lead to potential solutions for their conservation and
sustainability. The selection criteria are based on the technical merit of
the proposed work and the degree to which the work is relevant to this
objective.

Pollinators-bees, bats, butterflies and moths-help our prairies, gardens,
orchards, blueberry barrens, farmers' fields and desert cacti reproduce and
maintain genetic diversity. One-third of the food we eat has been fertilized
by pollinators. An alarming decline in the number of pollinators in recent
decades-through chemicals, diseases, mites, loss of habitat, and global
climate change- has international repercussions.

The GCA Board of Associates Centennial Pollinator Fellowship was established
in spring 2013 to facilitate independent research in this field. This
fellowship was made possible by generous gifts given in honor of the GCA
Centennial by members of the Board of Associates.



Provisions
The GCA Board of Associates Centennial Pollinator Fellowship annually funds
one or more graduate students enrolled in U.S. institutions. Funding may
vary in amount, but normally will be in the range of $4,000 for study and
research that will advance the knowledge of pollinator science and increase
the number of scientists in the field. A recipient may reapply for an
additional year of funding.



Research Categories
The categories under which applicants may apply are:
1. Effects of nutrition, genetics, pesticides, pathogens, parasites and
disease on pollinators
2. Pollinator habitat development, assessment or monitoring
3. Plant-pollinator interactions and pollination biology
4. Research that examines other aspects of pollinator health, including
cutting-edge, original concepts



Terms
1. Only one GCA scholarship may be applied for annually.
2. GCA fellow will provide an interim 250-word report, two high quality
photos, and an expense summary to GCA and P2 by September 1st. A final
report and final expense summary will be due February 1st.
3. Research excerpts (text and photos) may be published in GCA's and P2's
publications and websites.
4. GCA fellow agrees to share research with members of the Garden Club of
America.
