What is an Evergreen Fellowship?
The Evergreen Fellow Grant Program provides funding for research projects promoting science-based conservation in the Osa Peninsula region. See below for a list of past Evergreen Fellows and Friends of the Osa Research Associates.
- Fellowships range from $2,000-$5,000
- Grants are primarily intended for master's or doctoral students, or for established researchers
- Grants are generally provided to support 1-4 months of fieldwork, including transportation, living expenses and equipment
- Long-term projects using these grants as seed money are also encouraged
- Applicants are strongly encouraged to work at the Osa Biodiversity Center
Please read our Science Plan to learn more about our research priorities and the kinds of projects we are most likely to fund.

- Submit a preliminary report
- Submit a final research report
- Researchers may also be asked to present their findings at the bi-annual science meeting held by Friends of the Osa at our Osa Biodiversity Center
