The Owen F. Aldis Scholarship was established to support graduate studies in human ethology, defined as the biological study of human behaviour. The goal of the Award is to nurture excellence in human ethology by supporting students who are undertaking empirical research in human behavior, drawing on the repertoire of methods developed in biology and the human behavioral sciences. Observational studies in natural environments are especially encouraged. Studies involving non-human species may be considered, if their relevance to human behavior is made clear. Applicants must be students who have not yet formally received their doctorate at the time of the application deadline. They may be from any academic discipline related to human ethology, and their academic advisor or director at a recognized educational or scientific institution must support their application. A letter from the applicant's institution giving permission for the applicant to conduct the proposed research at that institution; and a letter of support from their mentor are required. Completed applications should be emailed to both the ISHE Secretary and the Chair of Trustees.
