Applications for the Robert Whittaker Travel Fellowship. One to two awards
annually of $750-1500 are available to promote active collaboration and
exchange
of ideas between foreign and U.S. ecologists. Awards are given to foreign
scientists to help defray the cost of travel to the United States for research
collaboration with colleagues. Applicants must possess an earned doctorate,
reside in a foreign country, and not be a U. S. citizen. Application for the
fellowship may be made directly by the foreign ecologist or by a member of ESA
on behalf of a foreign scientist. Applicants should submit the foreign
scientist
Ęs resume and a proposal describing the purpose of the travel, the
nature of the research, travel itinerary, and travel costs. Proposals
should not
exceed four double-spaced pages for all materials.


REQUEST FOR FUNDS: Robert Whittaker Travel Fellowship. This fund was
established
in 1984. Currently, an endowment has accrued that is sufficient to fund one to
two awards annually of $750-1500. We solicit further donations so that more and
larger awards may be given. The purpose of the award is to help defray the cost
of travel by foreign scientists to the United States for research collaboration
with colleagues. Award winners may present a paper at the ESA Annual
Meeting but
this is not the sole purpose of the award.

Donations for either fund can be sent at any time by mail to the Executive
Director, Ecological Society of America, 1707 H Street, NW, Suite 400,
Washington, DC 20006, or the contributor may specify a donation at the time of
payment of annual ESA dues.
