first-hand about the federal funding ‘game’ that happens every year in
Washington, DC, you may wish to apply for the Ecological Society of
America’s Graduate Student Policy Award to attend a two-day Capitol Hill
event. In these budget-deficit times, the competition for scarce
federal dollars has grown ever stiffer and ecological scientists must
make an extra effort to be heard.

Open to all ESA graduate student members, this award will be given to up
to two applicants for a special two-day event on April 18 and 19, 2007.
ESA will cover travel and lodging expenses associated with this event.

ESA works with several other scientific societies to organize this
annual event, which is sponsored by the Biological Ecological Sciences
Coalition (BESC). Awardees will participate in an afternoon of
briefings from the Administration and Congress. An evening reception
will feature many other biological scientists, congressional staff, and
Members of Congress. Day two will feature several team visits with
congressional offices to advocate for support of the biological
sciences.
