The Henry and Sylvia Richardson Research Grant provides research funds to those who have at least one year of promising work experience, and have no more than five years of getting their PhD degree, are undertaking research in selected areas of insect control, and have demonstrated a high level of scholarship. It was established by Henry and Sylvia Richardson to assist in developing good research scientists to advance the science of entomology. A nominee must be a postdoctoral scholar, working in insect control by attractants, repellents, biological controls, thermocontrols, or chemical controls. Second priority will be given to those candidates working in insect control of medical or veterinary importance. If there is no suitable candidate in these categories, candidates working in physiology or toxicology may be considered. Nominators must provide the candidate's CV which includes the Background Information, Research Section, Teaching and Mentoring Section, Extension or Outreach Section, and Service. Two letters of nomination or recommendation must also be submitted, one from a major professor and one from a previous instructor. Nominees should also write a description of proposed research and reinstatement about eligibility. Official graduate-level and postgraduate transcripts must be submitted.
