<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: small"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The WCS
Research Fellowship Program (RFP) is a small grants program administered by the
Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) Institute that is designed to build capacity
for the next generation of conservationists by supporting individual field
research projects that have a clear application to the conservation of
threatened wildlife and wild places.</SPAN></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: small"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The RFP helps
train applied conservation scientists from developing countries. Since the RFP's
establishment in 1993, over 2,000 proposals totaling over $23 million have been
submitted to WCS for funding, of which 300 proposals totaling more than $3
million have been funded. Over 60% of the total funded proposals have come from
national conservationists (citizens of the country in which they are conducting
their research). All grantees are graduate-level students pursuing masters,
doctoral, or veterinary degrees (or equivalents). Collectively, these
professionals will help to apply field-tested conservation science to the
challenges facing conservation today.</SPAN></SPAN> </P>
