“Student research grants are awarded to aid student-led research and support up-and-coming scholar members of the Pacific Seabird Group.  Due to the generosity of the Former Chairs, the PSG Student Research Grant program will fund 3-5 grants for up to [US]$3000 each.

The application deadline is February 6th, 2026 and funds will be awarded at the [PSG’s] 2026 Virtual Annual Meeting.

To be eligible, applicants must be members and currently enrolled students (Bachelor's, Master's, or Doctoral), and the proposed research must involve seabirds of any taxa or geography.
