Details:
Through this grant program, The Orianne Society seeks to fund graduate student research benefiting the conservation and management of amphibians and reptiles. Funding for conservation research is often challenging to acquire, especially for graduate student projects that occur over just a few years. These small grants will provide a funding opportunity to students who may not have other funds available to accomplish their research goals. The aim is to make the application and reporting process as streamlined as possible so that applicants and awardees can focus on their research. Funded projects will mainly occur in the southeastern United States, and this grant program will directly benefit both graduate students and imperiled herpetofauna.
The Orianne Society Small Grant Program is made possible through the support of The Chandler Family Foundation.
