Washington, D.C. 20460 SOLICITATION FOR GRADUATE FELLOWSHIP APPLICATIONS - 1995 OFFICE OF EXPLORATORY RESEARCH INTRODUCTION The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) invites applications for graduate fellowships in academic disciplines at the forefront of environmental science and technology: the physical, biological, and social sciences; mathematics and computer science; and engineering. These fellowships are intended to help defray costs associated with advanced environmentally-oriented study leading to the masters or doctoral degree. EPA expects to award approximately 100 new multi-year graduate fellowships in 1995. The remainder of this notice presents pertinent background information and describes the application and review process. BACKGROUND The mission of the EPA is to provide leadership in the nation's environmental science, research, education, and assessment efforts; make sound regulatory and program decisions; and carry out effective programs and policies to improve and preserve the quality of the national and global environment. Science and technology are central to virtually every aspect of environmental protection and seem certain to take on progressively greater importance during the foreseeable future. Both the public and private sectors will need a steady stream of well-trained environmental scientists and engineers if our society is to meet the environmental challenges of the future. Through its office of Research and Development, the EPA is anticipating that need by offering financial assistance for advanced study in academic disciplines relevant to its mission. ELIGIBILITY Applicants must be citizens of the United States or its territories or possessions, or lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence. EPA graduate fellowships are intended for students already enrolled in a full-time graduate program at an accredited U.S. college or university. Women, minorities, and disabled students who are pursuing graduate degrees in one of the eligible fields are especially encouraged to apply. TENURE The term of a graduate fellowship is negotiated with students and ordinarily covers a period of 9 to 12 months for each fellowship year; funds for unutilized months are forfeited. Students seeking a masters degree are supported for a maximum period of two years; students seeking doctoral degrees are supported for a maximum period of three years. STIPENDS AND ALLOWANCES The Graduate Fellowship Program provides up to $34,000 per year of support. A maximum of $68,000 will be provided for masters fellows (2 years) while doctoral fellows can receive up to $102,000 in support (3 years). Individuals accepting this support may not concurrently hold other Federal scholarships, fellowships, or traineeships. The $34,000 annual support covers stipend, tuition, and expenses as follows: Stipends during l995-96 will be $17,000 for 12-month tenures and prorated monthly at a maximum of $1,417 for shorter periods. Stipends are paid directly to the Fellow. At its discretion, each fellowship institution may supplement a Fellow's stipend from institutional funds in accordance with the supplementation policy of the fellowship institution. Tuition support will be up to $12,000 per year, depending upon the policies of the fellowship institution, paid directly to the institution. An expense allowance of up to $5,000 (paid to the institution) will be provided for the direct benefit of the fellow, e.g., for health insurance, books, supplies, and travel to scientific meetings. EVALUATION AND SELECTION Each applicant will be evaluated in terms of his/her potential for successful graduate study, as evidenced by academic records, faculty recommendations, and career goals and objectives. Applicants pursuing a masters degree will be evaluated further on their outlined plan of study and/or proposed thesis research. Applicants pursuing the doctoral degree will be evaluated further on the technical merit of their plan of proposed dissertation research and its relevance to the EPA mission. Panels of scientists, mathematicians, and engineers selected by EPA will perform the reviews. In the review process, the applicants will fall into two categories: masters and doctoral. Students seeking a masters degree will compete against each other, and students seeking a doctoral degree will compete against each other. Selections of awardees will be made by EPA based on the panel evaluations, program goals, and availability of funds.

The RFP will also appear in the NCASI Forestry Environmental Program Newsletter on the week of January 9th. ======================================================================= REQUEST FOR RESEARCH PROPOSALS ON COMPARISON OF EVEN-AGED VS UNEVEN-AGED MANAGEMENT The National Council of the Paper Industry for Air and Stream Improvement (NCASI) is soliciting proposals for scientific research on topics related to comparing even-aged vs. uneven-aged management of loblolly pine (P. Taeda). Much of the environmental controversy surrounding forest management concerns effects of clearcutting and other even- aged management techniques on wildlife and biodiversity. Comparisons between management systems will assist in broadening the practice of sustainable forestry, and the following 2 areas are of particular interest: 1) What are the relative biodiversity values and environmental tradeoffs. 2) What are the expected yields and economic returns over several even-aged rotations. More specifically, we expect to fund proposals that offer to make simulated comparisons of the 2 systems over a long period of time (at least 100 years). Initial conditions should be clearly described for both the uneven and even-aged forests. The comparisons should be made for several site classes (low, medium, and high). The specific management actions taken within each system should also be varied so that their impact on the results can be ascertained, e.g. the timing of thinnings or fertilization could vary. Other factors that should be considered include management costs, rotation length, site quality, pulpwood/sawtimber prices, and relative risk of loss due to fire, wind, insects, etc. Management options can be proposed for the even-aged forest that would not be feasible for an uneven-aged forest, e.g. the use of genetically improved stock. Economic comparisons should be made in terms of either net present value or land expectation value. Environmental tradeoffs should be specified on the basis of the simulation results and from relevant literature. Wildlife information might include comparisons of: habitat values over time, amounts of late successional versus early successional species, and potential effects on alpha, beta, or gamma diversity. Proposals will be funded through NCASI's Forest Management/Forest Health Program, which is expected to continue for several years. Maximum funding per proposal in 1995 will be $20,000, including indirect cost charges of up to 20%. Proposals for multi-year projects will be considered, with funding for second and subsequent years contingent upon satisfactory progress and availability of funds to the Forest Management/Forest Health Program. Cost-share and co-funding arrangements are strongly encouraged. Proposed projects should make full use of existing scientific information and resources, including long-term monitoring and measurement sites, and simulation programs where appropriate. Proposals should include a clear statement of project objectives and hypotheses; complete descriptions of methods, databases, and simulators to be used; anticipated deliverables; and a timetable for completion. Deadline for receipt of proposals is February 3, 1995. Three copies should be sent to Dr. Paul Van Deusen, NCASI, Anderson Hall, Tufts University, Medford, MA 02155.; 617-628-5000, ext. 2228.; email: pvandeus@emerald.tufts.edu. ------------ End Forwarded Message ------------- >From MAILER-DAEMON@umailsrv1.umd.edu Tue Jan 10 21:46:03 1995 Date: Thu, 5 Jan 1995 12:31:00 EST From: Mail Delivery Subsystem Reply to: "Ecological Society of America: grants, jobs, news" To: Multiple recipients of list ECOLOG-L Subject: RA position foro M.S. student, MN Research Assistant Position, M.S. student The Minnesota Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit is seeking a student pursuing a masters degree effective immediately. The successful candidate will conduct research on the invertebrate component of an interdisciplinary study developing and evaluating biological indicators of condition across a wide range of wetlands types in the prairie pothole region. The goal of the research will be to develop rapid landscape assessment tools to examine to ecological condition of wetlands. Although the successful candidate is expected to contribute significantly in writing a research proposal, the approach will be to select highly impacted sites (poor condition) and relatively non-impacted sites (good condition) and test the response of the various indicators to see if they distinguish between these extreme conditions based on the sampling grid of the Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program or EMAP developed by the EPA. The fundemental sampling unit for this study will be a wetland basin. The prairie pothole region is an agriculturally dominated landscape. Rather than defining condition based on pristine settings not typical of the region, condition will be defined on the intensit of the surrounding agriculture.

Over the next eight weeks, SEEE will be selecting twenty students from across the country to promote energy-efficient technologies on their campuses from March 1 to December 31, 1995. Energy-efficient technologies, like "Green Lights" and "Energy Star Computers," have the potential to save millions of dollars in energy costs on your campus while protecting the environment by reducing airborne pollution at the source! At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, students are saving $3.6 million dollars every year from energy-efficient lighting, while reducing pollution annually by the equivalent of taking 5,000 cars off the road. Nationally, if we used energy-efficient lighting wherever profitable, we could reduce pollution by the equivalent of taking 43 million cars off the road (that's one-third of the U.S. fleet!!) and simultaneously cut $20 billion dollars from our electric bill! SEEE is currently recruiting Student Government Leaders, Environmental Activists, and other ambitious, motivated, and outstanding students from across the country to join our internship program. Twenty students will receive a $1000 stipend and a trip to Washington, March 17-19, to learn about energy-efficient technologies and then work on campus to make them a reality!! This is not a summer internship, but a term-time on-campus internship to allow interested students to make a lasting difference on campus. Interns will be taught the fundamentals of energy-efficient technologies and practical methods for campus advocacy at the Energy-Efficiency Training Retreat in March. Upon returning to campus, Interns will be expected to utilize their skills to convince their campus administration to join voluntary, profit-based energy-efficiency programs like the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Green Lights Program. Interns will work closely with SEEE's central staff in Cambridge, and will have an expense budget to cover their work-related expenses. To apply, please send a completed application form (call/email) us to get one), a resume, an official transcript, and a cover letter explaining your qualifications for the internship (including, but not limited to: campus-wide advocacy, student government experience, commitment to environmentalism or fiscal conservatism) and why you would like to promote these technologies on campus, to the above address. No major is preferred, and all types of extracurricular backgrounds are encouraged. Seniors graduating after the spring or summer semesters are not eligible. All applications must be received by February 22, 1994. Finalists for the Internships will be interviewed by telephone by SEEE staff, and Interns will be notified on March 1, 1994 of their selection. Students for an Energy-Efficient Environment, is the only national, student-run, environmental organization dedicated to the promotion of market-based solutions to environmental problems on college campuses across the country. We work with student governments and campus environmental organizations as they convince their administrations to adopt policies on campus that will save money while protecting the environment. SEEE does not sell or advocate the use of any product, and none of our funding comes from industry-based sources. SEEE was founded in June, 1993 by full-time students, and it continues to be fully operated by undergraduates. If you have any questions about the Internship or SEEE, please call us anytime at (617) 493-6271 or e-mail us at fine@husc.harvard.edu. We guarantee the interns one of the most rewarding experiences of their college career, and we look forward to receiving your application. Sincerely yours, Randall A. Fine Anne K.

The 28 undergraduates enrolled will spend wonter quarter studying Spanish, cultural Background, basic characteristics of neotropical landscapes, and hearing lectures from researchers who have worked in L.A. Their other primary task will be to locate, contact, and make arrangements to work with persons in a L.A. country who are engaged in some kind of natural history and/or conservation work. Then, during the spring quarter, each student will travel to the site that she/he has made arrangements with, and engage the work/study. My own experience is limited to birds and Mexico, Ecuador, and Guatemala (although it spans some 30 years) and I have several students in L.A. now. I have some contacts, but I am interested in locating a wide variety of potential contacts/sites, and I am especially interested in situations that would put student(s) in close contact with local nationals, either as field supervisors of coworkers.

Those species and communities not adequately represented in areas that are being managed for the long-term maintenance of native species constitute conservation "gaps." The purpose of the Gap Analysis Program (GAP) is to provide broad geographic information on the status of ordinary species (those not threatened with extinction or naturally rare) and their habitats in order to prevent future conservation crises. To achieve this, Gap Analysis is the first state- and national-level effort to complete the following, at resolutions usable by land managers, planners, scientists, and policy makers: map existing natural vegetation to the level of dominant or co-dominant species; map present distributions of native vertebrate species; map public land ownership and private conservation lands; show the current network of conservation lands; compare distributions of any native vertebrate species, group of species, or vegetation communities of interest with the network of conservation lands; provide an objective basis of information for local, state, and national options in managing biological resources. Vegetation is mapped from satellite imagery and other records using the UNESCO (1973) vegetation classification system as modified by The Nature Conservancy. Native animal species ranges are mapped by using museum and agency records in conjunction with known general ranges and the animal's affiliation with the previously mapped vegetation types. These data are combined and displayed with a computerized geographic information system (GIS) using Arc/Info software at a cartographic scale of 1:100,000. Maps of vegetation types, individual species, or species-rich areas (depending on one's interest) are overlaid on maps of land ownership and land management, showing where land-based conservation efforts can be focused to achieve the conservation of overall biodiversity most efficiently, preventing both conservation crises and land use surprises. The Gap Analysis Program is sponsored and coordinated by the National Biological Service with support from the Department of Defense, the Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Geological Survey, and The Nature Conservancy. It is carried out state-by-state in partnership with state governments. Presently, GAP is made up of over 200 contributing organizations in 36 states. Contributors include businesses, state universities, state and federal agencies, and non-profit groups.

Why do some individuals perform better than others? At Simon Fraser University we are investigating how closely the physiological capacity of animals matches the natural 'load' or requirement placed on them and to what extent physiological systems can influence or even constrain behavioral and ecological decisions and, ultimately, the evolution of species. The emphasis of much of this work lies in understanding the physiological basis of individual and age-specific variation in two systems: reproduction and migration. We use a multi disciplinary approach combining laboratory based physiological techniques, studies of captive-breeding populations and field based ecological studies. These two areas are related in the broad sense in that both investigate the efficiency of energy and nutrient uptake, its processing, allocation and expenditure - processes that are critical to the survival and reproductive success of individuals and populations. At a more specific level, there are similarities between the lipid utilization systems involved in fat deposition in the developing yolk (during egg production) and in adipose tissue (during migration), and in the pattern of protein utilization in the two systems. 1. Reproductive physiology: Individual variation in reproductive investment (egg and clutch size and laying date) is marked in birds. Although much attention has been directed towards clutch size, egg size often varies by 40-60% in different females of the same species, and the causes and consequences of this variation remain unclear (Biological Reviews 68: 35-59). Research focuses on 1) fitness consequences of egg size variation both to the offspring and the female, 2) nutritional control of egg production and the role of female condition, and 3) the significance of mass changes during the laying cycle. 2. Migration physiology: We are currently conducting research on two long-distance migrants, the dunlin and western sandpiper, which breed in the Arctic and make flights of 3-4000km to winter further south, between BC and Panama. Studies have been initiated on the breeding and wintering grounds as well as at stop-over sites along the migration route. Research is focusing on 1) patterns and mechanisms of utilization of endogenous and exogenous protein and lipid reserves, 2) the role of muscle damage associated with intense migratory activity, and 3) use of plasma parameters as indices of individual quality and performance. This work forms part of the NSERC/CWS Research Chair in Wildlife Ecology based at Simon Fraser University and is aimed, ultimately, at predicting how animals may respond to environmental change through a better understanding of their physiological ecology. As a consequence, much of our work focuses on migratory water birds (ducks, geese, shorebirds and seabirds) although studies of both captive and free-living passerine species are also possible. 1-2 Graduate positions are available starting Fall 1995.
