Description
The Society for Marine Mammalogy provides conference travel support for a limited number of scientific colleagues working in countries and regions where resources for international conference attendance are inadequate or unavailable. The program is intended for primarily working scientists who are full-time principal investigators employed by governments, universities, or other organizations. It helps them contribute communications with potential value for advancing marine mammal science and conservation in their countries or regions.
The Society’s Committee on International Relations screens and ranks applications, with awards selected according to available funds. Selection considers the scientific and conservation value of the contributed communication, the applicant’s country or region’s representation within the Society’s membership, and the perceived difficulty of working as a marine mammal scientist in that region.
