Dear Associates:

The RAC (Research Approval Committee) will be reviewing proposals for research in late September. The deadline to submit a RAC proposal is in one month, on 15 September.

Please see the website (link below) for more information and the submission form.

https://hubbardbrook.org/research-proposal-submission/

Late or incomplete proposals cannot be accepted.

Tips for preparing a complete proposal:

1. Describe your proposed study site—specifically
2. Describe your methods so that the RAC can understand potential impacts on other studies or the HBEF
3. Talk to Ian Halm before submitting your proposal.
1. This is a step in the process and does not constitute approval

Proposals are reviewed by the RAC. The RAC is responsible for approving research proposals.

Please contact me if you need any guidance in preparing your proposal.

And remember that shorter is better…

Best regards,

Linda Pardo
