Ecological Society of America

One to two awards annually of $1000-1500 are available to promote active collaboration and exchange of ideas between foreign and U.S.A. ecologists. Awards are given to foreign scientists to help defray the cost of travel to the United States for research collaboration with colleagues.

Requirements: The foreign ecologist must possess an earned doctorate, reside in a foreign country, and not be a U.S. citizen. Application for the fellowship may be made directly by the foreign ecologist or by a U.S. scientist on behalf of a foreign scientist. Either the foreign scientist or the U.S. ecologist must belong to the ESA. Applicants should submit a proposal describing the purpose of the travel, the nature of the research, travel itinerary, and costs. Proposals should not exceed four double-spaced pages for these materials. The foreign ecologist's CV and a one page letter of support from the U.S.A. collaborator should be appended; these items are not included in the page limit.
