Description
The Guy N. Cameron Rodent Research Award, administered by the American Society of Mammalogists, is designed to advance research on the ecology or behavior of rodents native to the New World (North, Central, and South America). The program emphasizes support for field-based research, but will also consider laboratory work that directly augments or enhances field studies. Research themes funded by the award are broad, including abundance, habitat use, diet, competition, reproduction, physiology, behavior, and conservation issues. The award is open to both graduate students (MS or PhD) and postdoctoral researchers, with separate awards for each category.
