The Johnson Center for Land Stewardship Policy is a new organization that furthers the work of the late farmer and conservationist Paul W. Johnson.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Center seeks applications for awards to support emerging leaders considering careers related to the furthering of a private land ethic, or landowner-government partnerships to conserve private lands. We welcome proposals that address private land conservation policy and advocacy; academic research and teaching; agricultural innovation on private land (including advances related to climate change); the arts; journalism and communications. Funding is available beginning June 1, 2022. Awardees are expected to build on Paul\u2019s writing and experiences as an Iowa state legislator, Chief of the U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service, Director of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, and writer and activist advancing a private land ethic.<\/span><\/p>\n

TO APPLICANTS<\/span><\/p>\n

We will provide honoraria or paid internships for up to one year to enable successful recipients to devote themselves to a supervised project or activity related to Paul W. Johnson\u2019s work.\u00a0 A maximum of three awards are available for 2022. We seek creative thinking in the proposals.<\/span><\/p>\n

TO MENTORS<\/span><\/p>\n

Our center seeks to support mentors \u2013 faculty and nonprofit organization leaders \u2013 in identifying, sponsoring, and supervising emerging leaders.<\/span><\/p>\n

WHAT WE REQUIRE<\/span><\/p>\n

All applications must include: 1) a 2\u20135-page proposal; 2) a CV limited to two pages; and 3) a support letter from the student\u2019s supervising professor or NGO advisor.\u00a0Support is limited to $3,500 per award<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Those receiving awards will be required to provide a report on the results and lessons learned from their work, and to participate in a fall forum sponsored by the Fund. We don\u2019t expect the presentation to the forum will be a final report, but it should describe the work and any initial findings.<\/span><\/p>\n

TO APPLY\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In developing projects, applicants are urged to read a collection of Paul Johnson essays and reflect on his views on the need for a \u201cprivate land ethic.\u201d\u00a0 See: <\/span>www.landcommunity.org<\/span><\/a> \u201cThe Paul Booklet\u201d under Section About Paul<\/span><\/p>\n

The scope of work must show how the sponsored project fits into the applicant\u2019s career goals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Multiple formats for application are possible, but 2-5 pages should be sufficient to describe the proposed work.\u00a0 Because the center aims to spur innovative thinking, it will be very flexible in terms of projects it supports. However, the work must be tied to advancing and building upon Paul Johnson\u2019s work and thinking.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Due date for applications \u2013 June 1, 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n

Address for submission David Osterberg 318 2<\/span>nd<\/span> Avenue NW Mount Vernon, IA 52314<\/span><\/p>\n
