The Maine Association of Wetland Scientists (MAWS) is pleased to announce the 2025 research stipend. In 2018, the MAWS Membership dedicated the stipend award to Norm C. Famous, a longtime member of MAWS, naturalist, wildlife and wetland ecologist, noted ornithologist, and wetland scientist with particular interest in studying peatlands. More can be learned about Norm’s work in the 2018 edition of the Obligate.

A $4,000 wetland research stipend is available to actively enrolled students or student teams for use on a research project relating to Maine wetlands. Depending on the scope and needs of a project, the stipend may be divided among multiple projects. The deadline for the submittal of proposals/abstracts is May 2, 2025.
