<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#221E1F">Thank you for your connection to the
<i>Western North American Naturalist</i> as author, reviewer, or reader. Your efforts support our commitment to publish excellent, peer-reviewed research focused on the biological natural history of western North America.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#221E1F">With this commitment in mind, we are pleased to announce that we will award at least
<b>5 individual potential authors a grant of up to $2,000 each</b> to fund their natural history research. Our intent in providing this grant is to help authors who may not have adequate funding to complete their research in natural history. We especially encourage
individuals who are at institutions of higher learning that do not focus on research but where research is still possible.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
