DTWG IS CALLING FOR PROPOSALS FOR 2019 TERRAPIN PROJECTS
The Diamondback Terrapin Working Group (DTWG) is issuing a call for proposals for research/ education involving conservation and management of diamondback terrapins.
Grant amounts: In an effort to promote efforts that are most likely to leave a lasting effect on terrapin conservation and management, the DTWG Board of Directors decided to increase the amount of our grants to $1000.00. There will be up to three such awards this year.
Eligibility: Only proposals from DTWG members will be considered. A brief letter from the faculty mentor should accompany student proposals. To become a member visit our website at www.DTWG.org.
Format: Proposals should consist of a cover page with the authors’ contact information including phone and email information. The body should not exceed two pages (including literature cited), and authors must use 12 point font with 1 inch margins. A separate budget page should include a table with requested funds and total funds needed to complete the project and a budget justification that includes the availability and access to additional funds for your project.

Final Report: A detailed final report will be due to the DTWG by June 30, 2020.
