BCN friends -
If you're involved with an organization that works to conserve birds,
especially internationally, this might have applicability.

Subject: North Star Science and Technology Transmitter Grant Program
Thought you all might be interested to know that we are still involved in
this (our third year). I have submitted this to multiple list serves and the
Ornithological Newsletter. If you have an idea about other places where it
ought to be advertised, please let me know, especially venues outside the
Americas. You will note that this program has now gone global. The program
was restricted to the Americas for the first two years, but it quickly
became apparent that the number of applicants was rapidly dwindling. This is
a specialized technique and only a few researchers are using it. North
Star's market is also worldwide, so they have decided to open it up. George

NORTH STAR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY TRANSMITTER GRANT PROGRAM -- North Star
Science and Technology, LLC and American Bird Conservancy announce the 3rd
annual North Star Science and Technology Transmitter Grant Program. There
are two major changes in the program effective this year: 1) The grant
program will award more transmitters -- a total of eight (8) satellite
transmitters (Argos Platform Transmitter Terminals (PTTs), to one or two
recipients (8 PTTs to one project or 4 PTTs to each of two projects); and 2)
The program is now open to projects throughout the world. PTTs are
powerful, cutting-edge tools for the study of bird migration that greatly
extend the range over which individual birds can be tracked. Studies using
PTTs can teach us much about avian biology and contribute invaluable data
for bird conservation. North Star is providing the PTTs in the spirit of
giving back to the research community that they serve, with the condition
that the resulting data are available for use in an Earthspan's
(www.earthspan.org) educational program entitled, "Eye of the Falcon," which
uses satellite tracking data to teach young people about bird migration and
conservation. American Bird Conservancy (www.abcbirds.org) will handle the
proposal submission process, review proposals, and select the winning
projects. Please see www.northstarst.com for more information and proposal
guidelines. Deadline for proposals is February 2, 2005. Any further
questions about the program can be directed to George E. Wallace, American
Bird Conservancy, gwallace@abcbirds.org, Tel: 540-253-5780 Fax:
540-253-5782.
