BUDGET * Maximum allowable budget of individual awards is $12,500 * Budget items may include the following... For the regional university faculty member: summer salary, costs incurred for implementation of research into classroom teaching, and conference fees to present said research; the sponsoring lab may use a portion of the budget for lab supplies * If IDC is included in the proposal, it will be deducted from the award amount TYPES OF RESEARCH FUNDED * Award preference will be given to research proposals in the CLIMATE VARIABILITY RESEARCH field * Areas of STEM research other than climate variability may be considered * Past EPSCoR ROA recipients may apply, but funding preference will be given to regional university researchers who have not received ROA funding in the past two years * Medical research does not qualify for funding through this program TO APPLY Applications must be routed through the appropriate institutional grants office.

Questions may be directed to the program coordinator, John Kidd, at jbkidd at vt.edu or 540.231.7744. Thank you. About the PINEMAP Undergraduate Fellowship: The Pine Integrated Network: Education, Mitigation and Adaptation Project (PINEMAP) Undergraduate Fellowship Program provides undergraduate fellows from across the US with a research experience under a graduate student, post-doc, or research staff mentor and prepares them to successfully deliver secondary school science or social studies lessons based on summer research. This program partners fellows with graduate students based on interest areas. Selected undergraduate students will be provided the opportunity to work during a summer internship with a researcher in one of the following disciplines, or Aims: ecophysiology and silviculture, modeling, genetics, economics and policy, education, and extension. Fellows will be integrated into their mentor's research program and participate in data collection and hypothesis testing at a host university. Undergraduates will then enroll in a fall distance education course in inquiry-based science education and work with classmates to develop and improve engaging lessons for secondary school life science, biology, or social study classes. We will begin the course mid-summer to reduce the overall course load in the fall. Lesson topics will be based on research activities conducted during the past summer and, potentially, materials developed for a Project Learning Tree module. Fellows will then visit classrooms in their communities to lead these inquiry-based activities. Examples of past lessons include understanding the carbon cycle, exploring the carbon on their campuses, life cycle analysis, genetics, and understanding the value of trees in mitigating climate change and in production of wood products. Eligibility: Students must have completed at least their freshman year; non-graduating seniors are eligible. Awardees must be US citizens or permanent residents and able to pass a background check as part of VT hiring policy. A minimum GPA of 3.0 is preferred. Underrepresented students are encouraged to apply. Compensation: Fellows may earn $7,000 at maximum. Undergraduate fellows are temporary wage employees of Virginia Tech, although you will work at your mentor's university, and earn $5,250 for 40 hours of work each week for 12 weeks during summer. You may earn up to $1,750 during the fall semester. Submission Deadline: February 13, 2015. With up to 12 fellowships available this year, we greatly encourage you to apply. To Apply: Visit http://www.pinemap.org/education/undergraduate for additional information and application. _____________________________________________ John Kidd Coordinator, PINEMAP Undergraduate Fellowship Program Dept. of Forest Resources and Environmental Conservation 228H Cheatham Hall, Virginia Tech 310 West Campus Drive Blacksburg, VA 24061 jbkidd at vt.edu (540) 231-7744 You are currently subscribed to curl as: lmason at osrhe.edu.
