Description
The Herb Levi Memorial Fund for Arachnological Research, administered by the American Arachnological Society (AAS), provides annual seed grants to non-student members—including postdoctoral researchers—who have little or no institutional support. The fund is intended to help recipients conduct fieldwork and gather preliminary data, laying the foundation for future, larger research proposals in any area of arachnology. Priority is given to applicants who plan to use the funding to enhance their research programs, purchase critical equipment, or conduct outreach activities.
