Research Grants

Each year, the Wilson Ornithological Society offers three research grants. The focus of each differs somewhat, as does the amount of the award.

• Louis Agassiz Fuertes Award

  The Wilson Society's most prestigious award is available to all ornithologists, although graduate students and young professionals are preferred. Any avian research is eligible. Up to two awards of $2500 are given.

• George A. Hall / Harold F. Mayfield Award

  This award is limited to independent researchers without access to funds and facilities available at colleges, universities, or governmental agencies, and is restricted to non-professionals, including high school students. Any kind of avian research is eligible. One $1000 award is given. Formerly known as the Margaret Morse Nice Award

• Paul A. Stewart Awards

  Preference will be given to proposals for studies of bird movements based on banding, analysis of recoveries and returns of banded birds, with an emphasis on economic ornithology. Up to eight awards of $500 are given annually.
