The 2027 ARCC Research Fellowship supports individuals pursuing innovative research in the western/Ecuadorian Amazon Rainforest. Each year, ARCC awards $1,500 to individuals to support research that contributes to informing biological or cultural conservation from social, economic, ecological, or other relevant perspectives.
The selected research fellows will be responsible for producing a written report summarizing their project outcomes by the end of the year. They will also work with ARCC to develop outreach materials (e.g., blog articles, social media posts) to disseminate their findings and importance of their work. Through this fellowship, recipients will have the opportunity to advance their career, contribute to conservation initiatives, and collaborate with ARCC to broaden their professional network and impact.

The number of awards granted each year depends on ARCC’s funding capacity and the quality of the applications received.
