The Wisconsin National Primate Research Center (WNPRC) is pleased to announce the establishment of the Lawrence Jacobsen WNPRC Conservation Research Award. The award supports studies in applied conservation biology that protect non-human primate species and their habitat. The WNPRC at the University of Wisconsin—Madison has a long history of supporting work in primate conservation that has significantly impacted the survival of many primate species and the protection of forested habitat. The late J. Stephan Gartlan began the WNPRC's pioneering primate conservation studies in Cameroon and today the center continues to make significant strides in helping to protect the world's most threatened primates and their habitats. The award is available to students and/or faculty working in the field of primate conservation. Applicants must be affiliated with a university, college or non-governmental organization (NGO). Students and/or researchers from all countries are welcome to apply. Preference will be given to those working directly with a nonhuman primate species that IUCN lists as threatened or endangered. For more information (including the online application) see < http://pin.primate.wisc.edu/jacobsen>. Grant applications for this year should be received no later than August 1, 2007. Questions about the application can be directed to Joseph W. Kemnitz, Ph.D., e-mail: <kemnitz@primate.wisc.edu>.
