NORTH STAR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY TRANSMITTER GRANT PROGRAM
North Star Science and Technology, LLC and American Bird Conservancy announce the 3rd annual North Star Science and Technology Transmitter Grant Program. There are two major changes in the program effective this
year: 1) The grant program will award more transmitters -- a total of eight (8) satellite transmitters (Argos Platform Transmitter Terminals (PTTs), to one or two recipients (8 PTTs to one project or 4 PTTs to each of two projects); and 2) The program is now open to projects throughout the world. PTTs are powerful, cutting-edge tools for the study of bird migration that greatly extend the range over which individual birds can be tracked. Studies using PTTs can teach us much about avian biology and contribute invaluable data for bird conservation. North Star is providing the PTTs in the spirit of giving back to the research community that they serve, with the condition that the resulting data are available for use in an Earthspan's
(www.earthspan.org) educational program entitled, "Eye of the Falcon," which uses satellite tracking data to teach young people about bird migration and conservation. American Bird Conservancy
(www.abcbirds.org) will handle the proposal submission process, review proposals, and select the winning projects. Please see www.northstarst.com for more information and proposal guidelines. Deadline for proposals is February 2, 2005. Any further questions about the program can be directed to George E. Wallace, American Bird Conservancy, gwallace@abcbirds.org, Tel: 540-253-5780 Fax: 540-253-5782.
