Overview

The American Arachnological Society (AAS) offers research grants to support the study of arachnids. These grants are available for both non-student and student members, fostering collaboration and innovation in arachnology. The Herb Levi Memorial Fund is targeted at non-students needing funding for fieldwork, while the Arachnological Research Fund assists students working on arachnid-related projects. Awards can cover travel, supplies, and publication costs, promoting the advancement of arachnological research.

American Arachnological Society (AAS):
American Arachnological Society is to further the study of Arachnids, foster closer cooperation and understanding between amateur and professional arachnologists, and to publish the Journal of Arachnology. It accomplishes this purpose in three main ways:

Meetings- The society hosts an annual meeting for professional and amateur arachnologists and students interested in arachnology to share research and ideas.

Supporting Graduate Studies- The society promotes undergraduate and graduate studies in arachnology by providing grants for travel to meetingsand research, by recognition of high quality student presentations and posters at the annual meetings, and by providing information on graduate study opportunities in the field of arachnology.
Publications- The society publishes a refereed research journal, the Journal of Arachnology, three times a year. It also publishes the Spiders of North America-An Identification Manual, and the Common Spiders of North America.
Herb Levi Memorial Fund:
The Herb Levi Memorial Fund for Arachnological Research was established by the AAS in 2015 to support non-student AAS members (including post-docs) who receive little to no institutional support for their research programs. Current AAS membership is required. The HLMFAR grant is primarily meant to provide seed money to fund fieldwork and to gather preliminary data for future grant proposals. Grants up to $2000 are awarded.
