The Jurassic Foundation is dedicated to advancing the field of dinosaur paleontology globally through financial support. It focuses on promoting research and exploration by providing grants primarily to students, postdoctoral researchers, and residents of developing nations. Over the years, it has supported significant discoveries and facilitated the careers of emerging top paleontologists worldwide.
The grant program targets students, postdoctoral researchers, and other scientists who are working in the field of dinosaur paleontology but face limited funding opportunities. The grants fund various aspects of research including field exploration, fossil preparation, morphology, taxonomy, and evolution, among others. The aim is to support groundbreaking research in countries where paleontological funding is scarce, and significantly contribute to the field by enabling important discoveries and scholarly publications.
