Summary: Supports non-student herpetologists conducting original research in amphibian or reptile biology leading to publication or presentation.
This annual grant from the Herpetologists' League provides $1,000 to a non-student herpetologist to support original research in any area of amphibian or reptile biology, including behavior, conservation, ecology, physiology, morphology, or systematics. The grant is intended to help researchers who lack sufficient resources to bring their work to publication in a peer-reviewed journal (including page charges) or to present at a scientific meeting. The award honors Joseph C. Mitchell, a prominent past leader of the League, and aims to foster excellence and growth in herpetological research.
