Hello Biologists! My senior college students are learning about grant proposals. I've given them a 500K 3-year hypothetical grant for travel, supplies, personnel, publication costs, etc., It's hard to find sample grants with budgets and budget narratives - are you willing to share?

This grant is about improving biology education through building networks. So, my idea: Wide-spread passive trapping, sharing by-catch, doing barcoding CUREs (Course-based Undergrad Research Education) in our entomology/biology classes, presentation/professional development opportunities for UGs

HEY! If you're an entomologist at an undergraduate-focused college that builds up hilarious amount of Malaise trap (or other passive collecting by-catch), perhaps you'd like to apply for a grant with me? Bonus points for barcoding/biodiveristy/alpha taxonomy. Due late Jan new.nsf.gov/funding/oppo...
