The Horned Lizard Conservation Society is dedicated to protecting horned lizards by documenting and publicizing the values and conservation needs of horned lizards, promoting horned lizard conservation projects, and assisting with horned lizard management initiatives. Towards those ends, the HLCS periodically sponsors research or management efforts that has direct conservation applications.
We will be offering two $500 grants in 2010. Projects that have direct conservation implications, including public education, will receive a higher priority in this year’s funding. Projects may address any Phrynosoma species and may take place in any state in the USA, Canada or Mexico. These are intended to encourage the participation of non-academics in conservation. Preference for one will be given to people not associated with academic institutions; for the other, preference will be given to undergraduate or graduate students. For both, projects that have direct conservation implications, including public education, will receive a higher priority.

The proposal may not exceed 1000 words, excluding up to ten references. In addition send a CV/resume and have one letter of reference sent to: Dr. Gad Perry, Department of Natural Resource Management, Texas Tech University, Box 42125, Lubbock, Texas 79409-2125, USA.
