$1000 Travel Grant Helpful Hints!
The $1000 Shape of Enrichment Travel Grant is
awarded to the highest scoring paper submitted for judging. A panel of judges,
using a predetermined point system, will rate each anonymous paper. The 9
criteria used in the judging are:
1. Is this a high priority or unusual taxon?
2. How well does this project address the
animal's behavioral needs?
3. Is this enrichment based on the taxon's
natural history/behavior?
4. Does this enrichment empower / offer
choice to the animal?
5. How innovative is this enrichment?
6. Can this enrichment be adapted to other
taxa or uses?
7. How practical is this enrichment? (e.g. ease of use, cost of materials, clean-up, etc.)
8. How well has this enrichment been
assessed? (Note: scientific method is NOT required)
9. Overall rating.
The paper with the most
points and/or the highest rank, wins! In the case of a tie, the editor-in-chief
will select the winning paper.
