any U.S. state or Canadian province included in EBBA territory. Projects that are planned for other
portions of the United States, North America, or the Western hemisphere also may be considered. Research studies with conservation or management implications are particularly encouraged.
Grantees are

EBBA Memorial Fund
Over 50 years ago EBBA established a Memorial Fund in memory of deceased members with income from the fund to be used to support student research in the field of ornithology using bird banding. The Fund consists of memorial contributions, dues from Life Memberships and other contributions members may make.
Many grants from this Fund have been made to worthwhile students through the years. Student interest in applying for an EBBA Memorial Grant has grown to record levels. This past year there was a record 27 applications for which EBBA made three grants. We need more funding to support this worthwhile effort.
If you would like to support EBBA’s quest for supporting more student research in ornithology, please consider a tax-deductible contribution or bequest to either the Memorial Fund or to next year’s budget for 2013 awards by contacting EBBA’s treasurer,
