</font>Dear Students,<br>
The Ray and Lorna Coppinger Endowment provides funding support for
students and faculty working primarily in the fields of animal
behavior, wildlife biology, comparative cognition, evolution,
ecology or environmental science. Ray Coppinger, a founding member
of the faculty, was a leader in establishing Hampshire's emphasis on
student inquiry and research. The Ray and Lorna Coppinger Endowment
was established in 2006 to support student and student-faculty
collaborative research in the cognitive and biological sciences.
Income from the endowment is awarded competitively in response to
proposals, which both students and faculty are invited to submit.
Funds can be used to support student research projects,
student-faculty collaborative research, and student research
assistantships, internships, or field studies. <br>
<br>
The maximum award amount available for each proposal is $3000, or
$4500 for proposals that include a stipend for students in
placements with Hampshire College faculty. The Coppinger Fund
supports independent student research or student-faculty
collaborative research in the fields of animal behavior, wildlife
biology, comparative cognition, evolution, ecology or environmental
science. Funds can be used for equipment, travel to field sites,
supplies, or other direct research expenses. Proposals from students
must have the support of a faculty supervisor or mentor. <br>
<br>
If you are planning to pursue a research assistantship, internship
or field study this summer, working with a member of the Hampshire
faculty, or with a faculty member at another institution, in the
fields of animal behavior, wildlife biology, comparative cognition,
evolution, ecology or environmental science, the Coppinger Fund can
provide you with a grant to help defray the costs of travel to a
site, housing during your internship of field study (if not
provided), and some lab expenses. Students in placements at
Hampshire College with Hampshire College faculty are also eligible
for a stipend of $125 per week for a maximum of 12 weeks (total
stipend not to exceed $1,500)<br>
<br>
Interested students should contact the sponsoring faculty
member/researcher directly and negotiate the
internship/assistantship placement directly with that faculty
member, and the student is responsible for applying to the Coppinger
Fund for support.<br>
<br>
Funding is competitive.<br>
