Helen and Frederick Gaige Fund Awards, with an application deadline in March, offers numerous awards of $1000 each. Restricted to those with financial need.

Description

Gaige Awards are presented annually in honor of Frederick (Dick) and Helen Gaige, both of whom showed a lively interest in colleagues and students and, through their helpfulness to others, were a major influence in biology in the United States and on herpetology in particular. Applications are solicited for grants to be awarded from the Gaige Fund. These funds are used to provide support to student herpetologists for museum or laboratory study, travel, fieldwork, or any other activity that will effectively enhance their professional careers by contributing to the science of herpetology. Applicants must be enrolled in an advanced degree program. The title of the proposed research; concise description of the proposed investigation including the general research objectives, hypothesis/question, and methods of study; sources and amounts of partial support for the research and pending applications for support and amounts from other sources; and prioritized budget outline not exceeding the range of typical awards must be included in the application email. A Literature Cited section should be appended. Two letters of recommendation from persons familiar with the applicant and his or her research are required. One of these letters should be from the current major professor. Please visit the award's website for more information.
