Description
The Animal Behavior Society’s Justice Equity Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI) Award promotes excellent science alongside dedication to diversity within ABS. Its goal is to increase the overall number of research award recipients from groups historically underrepresented in the society. The award is offered through ABS’s graduate student research grants program, which uses a shared online application for several named awards.
The application’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) statement must explain how the applicant aligns with the JEDI Award’s goal. Alongside the scientific proposal, this statement provides an opportunity to describe experiences, contributions, and plans that support broader participation and inclusive, equitable science in animal behavior.
