Description
The Kevin Kritz Research Grant, administered by the Raptor Research Foundation (RRF), provides financial support for field research on eagle biology and conservation anywhere in the world. Kevin’s family established the fund in 2023 to honor Kevin J. Kritz, a raptor conservationist, biologist, public servant, and longtime RRF member. The program reflects his particular love of eagles and his commitment to placing the best available science and high ethical standards at the center of conservation decisions.
The grant seeks to advance research on eagles and their conservation. Supported studies have examined eagle diet, space use, and flight behavior, including potential conflicts with local settlers and future wind farms. Alongside research funding, the award offers waived publication page charges to help recipients share grant-supported findings in the Journal of Raptor Research.
