About this opportunity

The James Koplin Student Travel Grant supports student researchers in raptor biology by providing travel funding to attend the Raptor Research Foundation annual meeting. Awards are given to up to six students who are senior authors and presenters of a paper or poster at the RRF meeting. The grant honors James Koplin, a long-standing RRF member and educator who passed away in 1987. In his 20-plus years as an educator, thousands of young scientists took his courses in wildlife ecology, management, and population dynamics. Recipients must be students who have not received the award in previous years while working on the same degree. Applicants with the greatest financial need receive the greatest consideration. The award includes up to $700 in travel support plus a free 1-year membership to the Raptor Research Foundation.
