Program Overview

The Research Fellowship Program (RFP) is administered by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) Institute and is jointly funded by the Conservation Leadership Programme, a partnership between BP, BirdLife International, Conservation International, Fauna and Flora International, and WCS. The RFP is a small grants program designed to build capacity for the next generation of conservationists through supporting individual field research projects that have a clear application to the conservation of threatened wildlife and wildlife habitat.
