This Fund was established at the University of Alaska Foundation with donations received in memory of Doug after his untimely death in March 2005. Doug was an inspirational professor of biology and education at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and known throughout the community for organizing science fairs and other youth science programs. The purpose of the Fund is to promote and support science education and enthusiasm for science in K-12 age children. Closing Date: Monday, November 2, 2009 Proposals received after 5:00 pm on November 2, 2009 will not be considered. Grant recipients will be notified by November 16, 2009.

Submission Guidelines: Proposals are encouraged from anyone in the Fairbanks community whose goal is to inspire and educate K-12 age children in the sciences, including teachers, both professional and amateur scientists, home school mentors, and others. Funding may be used for equipment and supplies, field trips, guest scientists in the schools, and the like -- but not for training, workshops, continuing education or other activities that do not directly touch students. To apply, please submit a letter of 2 pages or less describing your proposal. Make clear how you will foster an enthusiasm for science. Include a brief, but clear, budget.
