Earthwatch Institute

Earthwatch Institute, a privately supported, membership-based private charity
supporting research, education, and conservation requests preliminary proposals
for field research in the Humanities and Social Sciences. Proposed projects must
be suitable for the participation of non-specialist volunteers and have the
capacity to utilize volunteer assistance with data collection in the field.
Volunteers must work under close supervision and instruction by Principal
Investigators and project field staff.

Preliminary proposals (two to three pages in length) should be submitted 12-14
months prior to the projected start of fieldwork. Upon favorable review of the
preliminary proposal, a more detailed full proposal would be invited for peer
review. Prospective applicants are encouraged to contact EWI for advice and
suggestions before submitting a preliminary proposal. The preliminary proposal
form is available on the Earthwatch Institute web site and may be submitted
electronically.
