The Janice Carson Beatley Fund was established to provide support for graduate student field work in plant systematics and ecology. Each year the fund provides awards to defray field expenses for EEOB students. Individual requests are limited to $1500.00, but students may apply more than once.
 

A brief application is required, which consists of the following:

1. A cover page (download PDF)

2. A proposal that describes the planned work and its relevance to the student’s thesis or dissertation research, not more than two pages in length.

3. A budget that details the expenses for which funds are requested. Items funded typically include travel and living expenses and field supplies.

Submit applications to John Freudenstein -- one paper copy either in mailroom at Aronoff Lab or at the Museum.

Further details are available from John Freudenstein at freudenstein.1@osu.edu, or 614 688-0363.
