of field research programs. Northern Research Fund support for 2004,
available through the application process, will consist of:

  1. 250 user-days (accommodation and meals for one person for a 24 hour
    period) and 100 vehicle-days (vehicle support from the CNSC fleet)
    compliments of the CNSC

  2. $7,000.00 CDN in direct monetary support provided by Manitoba
    Conservation
