Application for the fellowship may be made directly by the foreign ecologist or by a member of ESA on behalf of a foreign scientist.

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. =============== Sandra Arango
