Grant Programs for Students, Postdoctoral Trainees, and Research Scientists
The AMNH Grants Program offers modest short term awards to advanced students, postdoctoral trainees, and scientific researchers who are commencing their careers in the fields covered by AMNH. Grants are available from four funds each having specific restrictions:
Frank M. Chapman Grants support and foster research in ornithology, both neontological and paleontological.
Lerner-Gray Grants for Marine Research support marine zoology.
Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Grants support research on North American fauna in any phase of wildlife conservation or natural history and includes everything north of the Isthmus of Panama, including the Caribbean.
Collection Study Grants enable pre-doctoral, recent postdoctoral investigators and research scientists to study the scientific collections at the American Museum of Natural History in in the divisions of Anthropology, Invertebrate Zoology, Physical Sciences, Paleontology, and Vertebrate Zoology. The awards partially support travel and subsistence for scientists on short term AMNH visits.
