Blodget Fund for Ornithological Studies

The Blodget Fund for Ornithological Studies is an award established to support the research of students from any major interested in ornithological research, conservation, monitoring, and management. Both undergraduate and graduate students may apply to the Department of Natural Resources Conservation for the award. Student research proposals for funding may include requests to cover the costs of travel and fieldwork under faculty supervision, the purchase of specialized equipment and supplies needed for the research, and stipends, where appropriate. This funding opportunity is designed to advance ornithological studies and enable students to conduct field-based research and conservation work related to birds.
