National Geographic Society’s American Keystone Species Grant invites proposals for conservation research or conservation projects focused on ecological, cultural, or economic keystone species in the United States. This program is interested in the key themes of connectivity, blending Indigenous and academic science approaches, new technology for biodiversity monitoring and/or human- wildlife conflict management, past human relationships with American Keystones, and cutting-edge approaches to managing systems for change. Funding may be used for learning opportunities focused on leadership and fostering collaboration, as well as available innovative equipment, technology, and data services to support and propel grantees’ projects.
