North Star Science and Technology Transmitter Grant Program

North Star Science and Technology, LLC and American Bird Conservancy announce the 7th bi-annual North Star Science and Technology Transmitter Grant Program.  North Star will award a total of eight battery-powered or solar satellite transmitters (Argos Platform Transmitter Terminals; PTTs), to one to three recipients.  The programme is open to projects throughout the world.  Research that contributes to knowledge of avian biology and that provides data useful for bird conservation, particularly of threatened species, will receive preference in the selection process.  The American Bird Conservancy (http://www.abcbirds.org) will handle the proposal submission process, review proposals, and select the winning projects.
