The Justin Nolan Ecological Knowledge Fellowship supports study in traditional societies, including folk foods, artisanship, wildlife and medicinal knowledge, craft-making, and music. The Jessica Mae Orozco Indigenous Ethnobiologist Fellowship supports scholarship by Indigenous investigators, including research on environment and religion, ethnomedicine, and other ethnobiological topics.
The Urban Ethnobiology Fellowship supports research on foods, urban–rural food interactions, urban wildlife, gardening, and related urban culture–environment relationships. Together, the fellowships support promising young ethnobiologists working across these research areas. Recipients provide short final research reports for publication on the Society’s website.
