2011 Grant Awardees
We are pleased to announce the 2011 awardees of The Explorers Club Youth Activity Fund and the Exploration Fund. The winners were chosen by committees of scientific professionals from a pool of almost 300 applicants. The Youth Activity Fund awards fulltime high school and undergraduate students while the Exploration Fund is reserved for fulltime graduate, post-graduate and post-doctoral students. Each applicant must propose a field project as a full-time student under the supervision of a bona-fide research supervisor. Advisors were required to write a reference endorsing the student’s proposed project, and providing supervision.
This year’s winners will be conducting research in areas such as Costa Rica, Israel, Papua New Guinea and Zimbabwe on a wide variety of topics ranging from baboon diet, disease consequences on livestock and ecotourism industries, and invasive species in a changing world. We are delighted to report that the next generation of explorers has great potential, and that all of these students are making a difference for the betterment of our planet.
