Adam Hiscock, a 22-year-old geology major at the University of Utah, was the first recipient of a Grand Staircase Escalante Partners 2C0 (GSEP) grant that aims to encourage Fe&?:7, scientific research on the National PADDED PAK Monument's 1.9 million acres. f I fi. Adam spent much of this summer I sifting through the Monument's entire paleontology collection — bones and fossils that researchers have collected in the field since the mid1990s. Hiscock organized the items by year, entered them into a digital spreadsheet and labeled them with specimen numbers he got from the Utah Museum of Natural History. "Now everything's organized by year, and we have a nice database on the computer of what everything is, so researchers coming into the monument will be able to just sit down and find what they want to look at — a certain piece t. of bone, a UMNH VP #: 0/V 1VHVP 2 certain part Field Loca/ity Qqo rA-p - yl Date Collected: of an anic3/31/04 20q 2 2 4 1),.1i/Oli Repository: mal — really (Jr KA -32 Pleld Locality #: UMNH )ate Collected: gb -31, Formation/Member: KA:kc,csoox.11.11, quickly, and Stage: MNH .-,!epository: 4r) ((km research Taxa: Cry) .1 1 1. -0-,", S kull Foal it," Hiscock Datum: NAD 83 said.

GSEP awards two Student Research Grants of up to $3,000 annually. Projects have to demonstrate relevance to the Monument, as well as demonstrate that the project uses plausible methods and has strong potential for success. Winning proposals this year have focused on paleontology and geology, but the grants are open to student researchers from any scientific discipline. "By focusing on college students, we hope to help train the next generation of scientists," said Partners science committee head Walter Fertig. "We also hope our funding will help answer both practical questions of interest to managers of Grand Staircase and basic research questions of benefit to the scientific community and the public."
