Funded by the Judith A. Towle Environmental Studies Fund at CFVI, up to $6,000 is available to support activities that include internships, research studies, workshops, seminars, lectureships, citizen science or publications.
The Judith A. Towle Environmental Studies Fund was established at CFVI in 2003 in recognition of Judith Towle’s commitment to increasing environmental awareness in the Caribbean. Grants are awarded for innovative solutions that address shared environmental concerns in the insular Caribbean. While the proposed project may focus on a single island, it must have transboundary relevance.
Who Is Eligible? Applications may be submitted by (1) individuals who are residents of the insular Caribbean and (2) not-for-profit institutions based in the insular Caribbean. Graduate students may also submit applications for research projects focused on the insular Caribbean. Applications will not be accepted from for-profit organizations or from government entities.
