Warder Clyde Allee Competition

Eligibility requirements: Any independent graduate student research (including, but not limited to, the doctoral dissertation) is eligible. The work presented may be part of a larger collaborative effort, but the student should have the principal responsibility for the conceptualization and design of the research, the collection and analysis of the data, and the interpretation of the results. The entrant cannot have completed defense of the doctoral dissertation before the preceding ABS annual meeting. An individual can enter the session only once per lifetime. Only single-authored papers are eligible for the session.

Diversity Grant

Each year, the Animal Behavior Society offers a limited number of awards from the Diversity Fund to cover registration fees for graduate students attending the annual ABS Meeting, with the goal of broadening the minority and ethnic representation. Applicants must be enrolled in a graduate program at the time of application and must be members of under-represented minorities, including those living in North America who are African American, Native American, Asian American, and Hispanic American, or are citizens of Central or South America.
