The Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections (SPNHC) is offering travel grants for the 2023 SPNHC Annual Meeting, https://www.calacademy.org/spnhc-2023. The conference will be held 28th May-1st June 2023.

Any SPNHC member who works in fields related to the management and preservation/conservation of natural history collections may apply; we especially encourage students and emerging professionals. SPNHC members from the following countries are strongly encouraged to apply-Central and South America, Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: February 28, 2023, COB (close of business your local time)

Applicants must be members of the Society. Members who have received a SPNHC Conference Travel Grant within the last five (5) years are not eligible. While not required, applicants who have been accepted to do a presentation or poster and are first author will be given priority.

Currently there are two travel grants available-the Fitzgerald Travel Grant and the Christine Allen Travel Grant. There are multiple Fitzgerald travel grants available and one Christine Allen grant available. Other travel grants may be available as SPNHC receives sponsorships to fund additional grants. Please check back periodically for updates.
