RREA requests proposals

The University of California's Renewable Resources Extension Act Program is soliciting:

1. Proposals to develop and/or support new or existing projects/activities that are addressing the educational and extension needs in the management of California's valuable renewable resources. The primary purpose of this program is to promote the proper management of these resources, especially on private lands, and to provide the information/education/training needed by Extension personnel, land owners, and land managers.

2. Student Intern Proposals that would utilize the services and talents of student interns during the summer of 2011. Internships are open to upper division undergraduate or graduate students from any institution of higher education in California, particularly the University of California and the California State Universities. Principal investigators will not be granted additional RREA funds to pay for supplemental costs associated with the project. Student interns are expected to work 40 hours/week on projects or activities that address educational and extension needs in the management of California's renewable resources. Interns will be funded at $6,000. Intern proposals must demonstrate the connection to Cooperative Extension (county or campus office).

For detailed information, questions, and to submit proposals, please visit the RREA website: http://ucanr.org/sites/rrea/.

Proposals must be submitted by Aug. 31, 2010.
