<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hi All,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We are seeking collaborators to collect pooled bat quano samples in 10-20 locations in OH.--roosts in buildings, caves, etc are fine. Ideal areas are near CLE metroparks and Belmont Co, but anywhere in the
surrounding counties would be fine as well, or if this is not feasible just whereever possible in OH.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We will have containers and any PPE needed for the sample collection and can arrange pick up or pay the shipping costs to ODA.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Sorry but our time line is short so we would need your reply this week to meet the grant deadline. If interested in helping I will forward a letter of collaboration that is needed for your signature and affiliation
for our grant proposal.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We sincerely hope that you can collaborate with us on this important project!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
