Highlands Biological Station
Grants-in-Aid of Research

Highlands Biological Station (HBS) is now accepting applications for scholarships for research to be
conducted at HBS during the summer 2016.

For nearly 50 years the Highlands Biological Foundation, Inc. has provided grants in support of
scientific research at HBS, bringing graduate students and research scientists to Highlands from
across the country and around the world. Grant recipients are expected to spend time in residence
at HBS, as they and other researchers and students benefit from mutual interaction in the HBS
academic community. Support may be requested for one to twelve weeks. Awards are based on
the period of residence at HBS according to the following schedule: Graduate, $350/week;
Postdoctoral, $450/week. Recipients of HBS Grants-in-Aid are provided bench space without
charge.

Applications (cover sheet & proposal) must be submitted as a single PDF document before 5:00
p.m. EST on 1 March 2016. Proposals are reviewed by the HBS Board of Scientific Advisors.
Applicants are notified in early April, following final approval by the HBS Board of Directors.
