The data serve broad needs, in addition to supporting the many researchers at the Field Station. Read more about this initiative in the Kansas Water Office newsletter, HydroGram.

Small Grants Program
Since 2003, the University of Kansas Field Station has made available a number of small grants ($300-$500) each year to help support undergraduate and graduate student research at the field station during the summer. We encourage a diversity of research projects--not only ecological studies but projects in history, engineering, geology, geography, and other areas may be funded.
