EAS Foundation for Honey Bee ResearchCall for Proposals, 2010The EAS Foundation for Honey Bee Research is a competitive grant program developed from donations receivedfrom beekeepers and others interested in funding research on topical problems in honey bees. Proposals are solicitedannually with award amounts to be determined the spring before the EAS annual meeting. Requests for support forstudent projects (undergraduate summer employees/ graduate student) or for equipment/supplies for distinct researchprojects are given highest priority. Requests for “seed money” to provide investigators the opportunity to collect preliminarydata 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 programswhere 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 doesnot pay overhead on funded research grants.There will be one award for $5000 in 2010.The award will be announced at the EAS 2010 Conference but availableby May 1, 2010. We intend to publicize the award to aid in solicitation of additional funds for subsequent years. Deadlinefor application is March 31, 2010.Proposal Submission Criteria1. Proposals are welcome from any individuals conducting research on honey bees.The role the investigator will performif awarded the funds should be clearly stated.2.

If intended as “seed money,” the proposal should clearly state how the funds willenable the investigator to secure additional funding for project continuation.
