The purpose of these Fellowships is two-fold: to assist in the development of talented young professionals who are dedicated to furthering the conservation of wetlands and wildlife; and, to advance scientific understanding of the biology of waterfowl and wetlands. The competition is open to graduate students based at any North American university. Each award is available to provide personal or research support for successful applicants. The award is renewable for up to two additional years for PhD students, once for MS students, assuming annual approval of a satisfactory progress report and the need for continuing financial support. How to Apply Fellowships will be awarded based on the qualifications of the applicant; the scientific soundness of the student's research proposal; originality and creativity in study design; expected contributions of the research to furthering waterfowl conservation; and the achievability of the work. The IWWR is a nonprofit institution and does not pay indirect costs to cooperating universities and research institutions. Applicants will automatically be considered for any fellowship for which they are qualified. Thus, a single application will suffice. All application materials are due by midnight on 16 November 2012. Applicants will be notified of the results of the competition in January.
