The Jobbins
scholarship
is sponsored by the Northeastern
Mosquito Control Association
It was created to honor the
contributions of the late Professor
Daniel Manley Jobbins of Rutgers University
to the understanding of wetlands environments
and of the biology and control of mosquitoes and other arthropod pests and disease vectors,
and for his dedicated support in the establishment and development of The Northeastern Mosquito
Control Association.
CRITERIA - The Jobbins
Scholarship will go to a student whose
work is in an area relevant to mosquito or biting fly control in the Northeast; for example, wetlands
biology-ecology, entomology or vector parasitology.
Studies may range in nature from
purely ecological to strict vector
control.
JUDGING AND AWARD - The recipient of the award will be chosen by a Scholarship
Committee of the Northeastern Mosquito Control Association. The recipient will be designated at the Annual Meeting of the NMCA in
December and the award of not to exceed two thousand
dollars ($2,000) will be given at
the meeting.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE RECIPIENT - (1) To perform his/her researches to the best
of his/her abilities showing
imagination and zeal and not only to search
out solutions
or knowledge regarding new problems
but to bring new knowledge and ideas
to bear on the solution of old ones. (2) While it is
not required, we encourage the recipient to submit
a progress
report at the end of a year's work.
In any event, a request for renewal
must be accompanied by a report of
the prior year's work and accomplishments.
And, (3) at the end of the project, or earlier if appropriate, to present the results at the Annual Meeting of the Northeastern Mosquito
Control Association,
and at any other appropriate societies, to seek
appropriate publication of the results and to acknowledge NMCA support.
