Pamela and Alexander F. Skutch Research Award

The Skutch Award for Studies in Avian Natural History is offered annually by the Association of Field Ornithologists. The Fund is intended to support the study of life histories, especially social relations and reproduction, of little known birds of the Continental Neotropics including Trinidad and Tobago, with a minimum of disturbance.

The funds requested from the Award should be adequate for the intended study to avoid seeking additional funds. The grantee may be an amateur or professional ornithologist of any nationality. It is highly desirable that he or she has some previous experience of the region and birds (and if possible, the locality) where he or she will study. One award of up to $10,000 will be considered annually.
