Description
The Maxwell/Hanrahan Travel Award, administered by the Richard Gilder Graduate School (RGGS) at the American Museum of Natural History, provides matching financial support for field-based research in biology or earth sciences. The award is designed to help graduate students and postdoctoral researchers at RGGS advance their research and professional development through hands-on fieldwork.

Recipients are required to report on their fieldwork and acknowledge the grant in all resulting academic products.
