Fellowships for Caribbean fieldwork at the Smithsonian
The Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute is offering Graduate Student Fellowships in support of fieldwork to be conducted at STRI’s Bocas Research Station on the Caribbean coast of Panama. Five $2,000 fellowships will be awarded to applicants who plan to spend at least 2 months in residence at the Bocas Research Station between June 2006 and April 2007. Fellowship status also waives laboratory bench fees.
Priority will be given to first-time visitors to the Bocas del Toro Research Station. Research on any aspect of marine or terrestrial biology, geology or anthropology will be considered. Applicants are strongly encouraged to consult with STRI research scientists in the relevant field before submitting a formal application. Bios of the staff can be found at:

Please inquire with a relevant STRI scientist for advice on the scientific merit of the proposed research, methodology, and logistics.
Applicants should send (1) a CV, (2) a description of the research to be conducted in Panama and how the investigation connects to the applicants dissertation research, 5-page maximum, and (3) two letters of recommendation by e-mail to the Bocas Research Station’s Director, Dr. Rachel Collin (collinr@si.edu). Evaluation of proposals will begin June 15th and will continue until all of the funds have been awarded.
