SPONSORS

My collaborators and I are very grateful to all of our sponsors for supporting our research and the training of undergrdauate and graduate students. This research would not have been possible without their support.

The Leakey Foundation has supported Erin Vogel's research on aggression in capuchin monkeys (2000-2002) and geographic variation in orangutan diet selection (2005-2006), as well as Vogel and Dominy's research on New World monkey color vision. The Leakey Foundation is also funding a new project of ours titled “Linking Feeding Ecology and Craniodental Morphology in Wild Orangutans: A Quantitative Approach” (2007-2009).
The National Science Foundation through the Physical Anthropology Program, Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, supported my research on capuchin monkeys from 2001-2003 [BSC-0120250] and currently supports our work on geographic variation in orangutan diet selection [BSC-0643122]. This funding also supports Indonesian students from the Universidad Nasional Jakarta.
The Organization for Tropical Studies (OTS) supported the field component of my research on food competition in capuchin monkeys (1999-2001).
The Denver Zoological Society supports my research in Central Kalimantan and has aided in the contruction of a new field site run by Meredith Bastian in Central Kalimantan (2005).
The U.S. Department of Education program for Graduate Aid in Areas of National Need supported my research on the ecological basis of food related aggression in capuchin monkeys (1999-2000).
The Wenner-Gren Foundation supports research conducted by Nathanial Dominy on the physical properties of hominid foods (2006-2007).
LIPI (Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia;
(Indonesian Institute of Sciences) has actively sponsored and facilitated our research on orangutan foraging behavior in Central Kalimantan.
The Universidad Nasional-Jakarta is our counterpart institution for all of our work in Indonesia. We collaborate with Dr. Suci Utami Atmoko and Drs. Tatang Mitra-Setia.
The Department of Ecology and Evolution at Stony Brook University supported my disseration research on capuchin monkeys through two grants: The Slobodkin Research Award (1999) and the Sokal Travel Award (1999).
The University of California -Santa Cruz supports our project through research funding and salary funding to ERV.
The A.H. Schultz Foundation
The A.H. Schultz Foundation in collaboration with Dr. Prof. Carel P. van Schaik (Anthropological Institute, University of Zurich) has supported my research in Central Kalimantan from 2005-2006. The Schultz Foundation currently supports many aspects of our collaborative research.
