We are proud to present the winners of the 2024 Skutch Research Grants!
The Association of Field Ornithologists has a fellowship program aimed at supporting field researchers at all stages of their careers, including non-professional ornithologists.
Formerly the Bergstrom Grants for Latin America (a mid-year round of the Bergstrom Grants), the Skutch Research Grants are an opportunity for Latin Americans who need funding for their research. Non-academic professionals, undergraduates, Master’s degree candidates, PhD students, Post-docs and avocational ornithologists are eligible for a Skutch Research grant.
