研究奖学金项目（RFP）：1993年，WCS通过建立RFP项目，正式启动了实施了半个世纪的小额基金支持项目。该项目的主旨是为初出茅庐的科学家进行个人野外研究提供资助。过去10年中，RFP为将近200个人在全世界开展的重要野外研究提供了帮助。RFP的优越性之一就是已经帮助我们培训了许多来自发展中国家、从事保护工作的科学家。我们很高兴地发现，66%的研究人员来自发展中国家。总之，这些年轻的专业人员将有助于推动野外实验性保护科学的发展应用，以应对保护界所面临的的挑战。

From 1993 to 2007, the WCS Research Fellowship Program (RFP) supported the conservation research and field work of more than 300 conservationists in an effort to help train the next generation of conservation practitioners. WCS’s investment in each RFP grant was leveraged by further financial commitments from the awardees’ universities and/or national institutions. Most RFP recipients have advanced to positions in NGOs, academic institutions, and government ministries worldwide, creating an international network of conservation professionals dedicated to saving wildlife and wild places.

In 2010, the WCS Institute re-established the RFP to build on this effective model of capacity building. The new RFP will focus on supporting projects that directly address WCS conservation priorities and help further our understanding of WCS priority species, land/seascapes, and/or challenges. RFP projects will include opportunities to work on issues being addressed by the Global Program, the Global Health Program, and the Living Institutions. At the same time, the RFP grants will continue to provide much-needed support for the training of conservation practitioners in developing countries.

The RFP Selection Committee, chaired by the Institute and representing the Regional, Species, and Challenges teams, will guide the applicants, match applications with WCS needs, and make the final selection of awards. We invite you to share this opportunity with any conservation practitioners associated with your projects who might be interested in learning more. The application deadline is January 5, 2011. Complete eligibility requirements are available at http://programs.wcs.org/grants. Please email any questions to fellowship@wcs.org.
