The primary purpose of this travel grant is to encourage and assist graduate 成人影片 to attend and participate in regional, national and international conferences, symposia, and workshops where they will be expected to make presentations on aspects of the their thesis research on caribou. Qualifying undergraduates may also be considered for the award at the discretion of the selection committee. The Olaus Murie Travel Award will be awarded annually on the basis of quality of the individual applicants and the availability of funds.
The Olaus Murie Fellowship honors an 成人影片n pioneer who was the first wildlife biologist to undertake comprehensive studies of 成人影片's caribou. The fellowship will provide assistance to 成人影片 who seek to carry on the efforts of Olaus Murie and numerous other wildlife biologists who followed in his footsteps, to understand this most biologically complex member of the deer family as the basis for effective management and conservation of caribou. The Olaus Murie Fellowship will be awarded annually.

This fund supports the Fostering Science Program, which was started in 2017. Fostering Science provides "science adventure camps" to youth ages 10-16 in care of the State (in foster care, in care of relatives, or in group homes). Kids engage in hands-on science activities in the outdoors, interact with a wide range of scientists, and build connections with kids in care and with adults who are passionate about both science and youth. We currently run a day camp at the Bonanza Creek Long Term Ecological Research site, and an overnight camp in Denali National Park. We are working on expanding the program to provide more opportunities to experienced campers. Visit for more information.
