This grant supports research to understand how contaminants in water affect birds that eat insects. The project will map areas in the U.S. and Europe where birds are at risk from these contaminants. The goal is to help manage species and habitats by predicting where these risks are highest.
Who it's for: This grant is open to any organization or individual interested in conducting research on environmental science, particularly those with expertise in aquatic ecosystems, contaminants, and bird ecology.
