Applying for Research Awards
APPLYING FOR RESEARCH AWARDS
The Eastern Bird Banding Association seeks applicants for its annual $500 research awards in aid of research using banding techniques or bird banding data. Applicants should submit a resume of their banding and ornithological background, the project plan including the significance of the study site, and a budget. No formal application forms are necessary; however, three copies of each application are required. Grant requests must be received by 15 Mar each year with award announcements 30 Apr.
Preference is given but not limited to research in eastern United States, or with species that spend part of their life there. Projects that are planned for other portions of the United States, North America, or the Western Hemisphere also may be considered. Research studies with conservation or management implications are particularly encouraged.
Grantees are encouraged to present at least part of their study results at an annual EBBA meeting. Travel grants for this purpose are available, in addition to the Memorial Grant for the research. Also, grantees are encouraged to become members of EBBA. Send applications/inquiries to:
