Krusac-Belwood Student Research Award

The Krusac-Belwood Award was created in 2023 with an endowment fund established by Jacqueline J. Belwood and Dennis L. Krusac through the Southeastern Bat Diversity Network (SBDN). Its goal is to provide a single annual award of $2,000 to an upper-level undergraduate or master’s level student to support field-based ecological research on bats in the southeastern United States.

More information about the award and application process may be found here.
