The Herb Levi Memorial Fund for Arachnological Research is an annual grant administered by the American Arachnological Society (AAS). Established to honor the legacy of Herb Levi, this fund is designed to advance arachnological research by providing essential seed funding to non-student members, such as postdoctoral researchers, who have little or no institutional backing. The grant primarily supports fieldwork and the collection of preliminary data to help researchers develop future, larger grant proposals. The program is intended to foster innovative studies and launch new research initiatives within the field of arachnology.
