The EASTERN BIRD BANDING ASSOCIATION seeks applicants to apply for grant
awards to be used toward research using banding techniques and/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
if you submit hard copy, (electronic submissions are preferred). Grant requests
must be received by March 15 each year with award announcements April 30.
There are one to five grants for up
to $1000 each. Priority is given to research
being conducted on species that spend at least part of their life cycle in
any U.S. state or Canadian province included in EBBA territory. 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
asked to submit a summary of their work at
the end of the year, or present at least part of their study at the 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.
