Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Society
Grants-in-Aid of Research
The program awards grants of up to $1,000 to students from all areas
of the sciences and engineering. Designated funds from the
National Academy of Sciences allow for
grants of up to $5,000 for astronomy research and $2,500 for vision
related research. Students use the funding to pay for travel expenses to
and from a research site, or for purchase of non-standard laboratory
equipment necessary to complete a specific research project.
While
membership in Sigma Xi is not a requirement for applying for funding
from the Grants-in-Aid of Research program, approximately 75% of funds
are restricted for use by dues paying student members of Sigma Xi or
students whose project advisor is a dues paying member of Sigma Xi.
Students from any country are eligible to receive funding.

Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI)
Fellowship Program
The Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI),
is a division of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC and
maintains research facilities for marine and terrestrial research at
various locations on the Isthmus of Panama. STRI offers fellowships
for undergraduate, predoctoral and postdoctoral research in the
areas represented by its scientific staff. Disciplines include
ecology, anthropology, paleontology, paleoecology, evolutionary
biology, molecular phylogenetics, biogeography, animal behavior,
neurobiology, soils sciences, and physiology of tropical plants and
animals.
More Information
Supplementary Research Award Program (SRA)
The Supplementary Research Award Program is a mechanism to
replace the practice of waiving or reducing STRI fees for visitors. The SRA
program is to recognize that in some cases it is to STRI's benefit to have
researchers using facilities even if they can not pay full fees. The program
is to provide supplementary support only. It is not intended to be a
fellowship program that would provide major support for a visitor's research
at STRI. Annually STRI will set aside funds to cover the program costs.
