The American Society of
Mammalogists (ASM) seeks to promote high quality
research by its student members and has developed a
number of mechanisms by which young scientists can
establish and further develop their careers in
mammalogy. The Grants-in-Aid of Research and the
Latin American Student Research programs provide
students (usually graduate students) with funding to
conduct research in mammalogy at any stage of their
research projects; students are eligible for more
than one grant in successive years. The Latin
American Student Field Research Award explicitly
recognizes the historical and contemporary
importance of field research in Latin America to ASM
and the Society’s commitment to promoting field work
by promising students from these countries.
To acknowledge the
highest-caliber research projects completed by its
student members (supported by Grants-In-Aid or any
other funding sources), the ASM offers the Graduate
and Undergraduate Student Honoraria Research Paper
Awards. In addition to funds to support travel to
the Annual Meeting, Graduate Honoraria awardees have
the distinct honor of presenting their research as
part of the opening Plenary Session of the Annual
Meeting, along with recipients of other ASM awards.
Finally, the Albert R. and Alma Shadle Award and the
ASM Fellowship are designed to recognize
contributions to the field of mammalogy, service to
the society, and the potential to develop a
productive career in mammalogy. By providing funding
for student research (Grants-In-Aid of Research,
Latin American Student Field Research Awards),
recognizing the highest quality completed projects
(Honoraria Research Papers), and honoring
individuals that have made substantial contributions
to mammalogy through their research and service (Shadle
Award and the ASM Fellowship), the American Society
of Mammalogists assists students throughout the
early development of their careers. Submissions to
these programs can be accomplished through
http://www.mammalsociety.org/applications/.
Graduate Student
Honoraria Research Papers- Graduate student members
of the society are encouraged to submit a summary of
a research project for consideration by the
Honoraria Committee (detailed instructions below).
The Anna M. Jackson, A. Brazier Howell, and Elmer C.
Birney Awards are designed to recognize outstanding
research projects completed by the Society's
graduate student members and are among the Society's
highest student honors. Award winners will present
their research to the Society at the Plenary Session
of the Annual Meeting.
Please note that
application procedures changed effective for the
2010 competition. See
