Research Applications

Before starting a research project at rare, all researchers must fill out a Research and Land Use Application Form. We recommend contacting us and visiting the site beforehand. Applications must be submitted at least 4 weeks before you plan to start your project.

The Review Process

The application goes through a review process by different committees, and final approval comes from the Executive Director. Following approval, we askresearchers to report the GPS locations of their specific research sites (often chosen in conjunction with the Research staff) and/or a site map.

Students

Students should give a copy of their thesis or dissertation when they finish, and for long projects, provide yearly updates. Any papers you publish about your research at rare should mention the rare Charitable Research Reserve and give them a copy for their library.
