hello again,

So I began writing the application for the Lindbergh Foundation today, 
and I have a few questions/requests:

1.  Can all of you interested in being included in the project (meaning 
you are committing to dedicate time, and would be eligible for a small 
stipend - depending on how much funding we get) please respond and 
confirm your participation?  Along with that, please send me your resume/
CV.  And Chad, if you plan on being involved (which I hope you do!), 
please also send me a 1-paragraph bio on yourself (I have bios from 
everyone else).

For those of you that are non-U.S. citizens, please indicate country of 
citizenship, type of visa if U.S., and place of birth. 

2.  The application requests a list of relevant publications for all 
professional personnel.  I will include the websites you have worked on 
(PFAF and Eden) - is there anything else?  If so, please send.

3.  Please tell me the amount of time you plan on spending on the project 
(hours/week).

4.  They request that we, "Provide a summary describing the research that 
is already in place, most recent advances made in your area of work, and 
how your proposed work will contribute. Originality and innovation are 
important factors in the review process. Also provide a listing of 
literature cited."  I've found limited information on relationships 
between plants (besides companion planting) and guild design (which would 
actually support our cause).  Any ideas?  At least on the viability of 
relationship-oriented landscape design?

5.  They request, "A limited amount of material in support of your 
project (articles, letters from collaborators/collaborating institutions, 
photographs, etc.) may be included as part of your application. Eight (8) 
copies are required for our review process. These materials cannot be 
returned."  Anything I should include here?  Perhaps a letter from 
Ibiblio, or a collection of posts to PC listservs requesting 
relationship-type information - to show that this kind of resource is 
needed?  What do you think?

Thank you, I look forward to hearing back.

peace
*Stephanie
