The Sandy River Gorge Field Study Award is an endowed fund administered by the Biology Department at 新澳资料. The fund was established by Arch and Fran Diack and provides an opportunity to conduct student-originated, independent research and field studies in the Sandy River Gorge east of Portland. The award was established in recognition of the Diack's great interest in the Sandy River Gorge Natural Area and their desire to encourage original contributions by students to scientific problems in the natural world. The Nature Conservancy shares in this cooperative project.

Potential topics include (but are not limited to) plant and animal ecology and behavior, geology, air and water pollution, dam removal effects, and other issues related to the Sandy River Go
