matching funds program that awards a combination of in-kind and direct
monetary support towards expenses normally encountered during the course
of field research programs. Northern Research Fund support for 2005,
available through the application process, will consist of:

(1) 250 user-days (CNSC accommodation and meals) and 100 vehicle-days
(vehicle support from the CNSC fleet) compliments of the CNSC.

(2) $7,000.00 (CAD) in direct monetary support provided by
Manitoba Conservation.

(3) Various Winnipeg-Churchill travel vouchers compliments of Calm Air
International.

Using the CNSC's board-approved fee schedule as a reference, the total
valuation of all NRF support for the 2005 field season will be
approximately $25,000.00 (CAD).
