Reviewers needed for Angus Gavin award

September 22, 2015

The University of Alaska Foundation is seeking volunteers to evaluate grant applications for the Angus Gavin award.

The Angus Gavin Memorial Migratory Bird Research Grant supports research on bird species found either permanently or seasonally in Alaska or its coastal waters, including their biology, general ecology and habitat relationships. Research designed to yield information on management of bird species will be given preference.

The grant was created in 1983 with gifts from Atlantic Richfield Co., now ConocoPhillips, and ARCO employees in honor of Angus Gavin, an environmental scientist and advisor to the company.

Those interested in reviewing applications should contact scholarship officer Dory Straight at dory.straight@alaska.edu.
