Research support should mean something more concrete than liking research in public. Krigsvold’s primary mechanism is the Count of Krigsvold Fellowship, an annual $1,000 graduate research grant administered with Westarctica.
Direct support
Since 2025, two Fellows have received $2,000 in total awards:
- Sheherazade for work on community-led forest governance in Central Sulawesi; and
- Ria Raut for work on tropical forest recovery in Sabah, Borneo.
Awards, recipients, and project purposes are reported in the Annual Record.
Public support
Fellows also receive a durable public profile explaining the question, method, and conservation relevance of their work. This is amplification with a subject and a reason, not a generic claim that research matters.
The site separately interprets Antarctic research for a general audience. That editorial work is not financial support and is not presented as such. It can, however, help readers reach the primary institutions and findings on which good public decisions depend.
Boundaries
Krigsvold does not conduct or supervise the Fellows’ research, represent their institutions, or endorse every view they hold. The award recognizes a specific project. Fellows remain independent researchers responsible for their work.
Current application terms appear on the official Fellowship page.
