The Delta Waterfowl Foundation is a private non-profit organization that supports graduate student research on the ecology and management of waterfowl and wetlands. Delta has offices located in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba and in Bismarck, North Dakota.

This summer, Delta celebrated its 60th anniversary of funding graduate student research. Although the majority of our 20 graduate projects for 1998 focused on waterfowl, we supported 7 projects with a strong focus on wetlands ecology or management. These included projects on structure and function of wetland food webs, plant succession, seed dispersal, remote sensing, and moist-soil management. In addition to graduate students, Delta hired 17 undergraduate interns. Interns assist graduate students and staff on summer research projects.

For information on how to apply for graduate research funding or undergraduate internships, please contact Todd Arnold (address below). Deadlines are 31 October for research proposals and 31 January for internships.
