Welcome to the WCS Research Fellowship Program Website

Next Application Deadline: January 5, 2011


Maximum award: $20,000


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.

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. 



What's New


In 2010, the WCS Institute re-established the RFP with a focus on
supporting projects that directly address WCS conservation priorities.
