Joseph Grinnell Student Research Award

This award supports beginning research efforts of Ph.D. graduate students in their first or second year of enrollment. Up to two $1000 awards are designated, in the memory of Joseph Grinnell, to support basic research in any aspect of avian biology. Projects that deal with conservation issues in avian biology should be directed to the Mewaldt-King Research Awards Committee of the Cooper Ornithological Society. Students may not submit a proposal to both award committees in the same year.

This award is open to all graduate students that are members of the COS and originally enrolled in a Doctoral program during the past three years (see funder webpage for current date).
