The African Graduate Student Research Fund committee was formed in 2013 as an
ad hoc committee and was promoted to a standing committee in 2016. The name was changed to African Research Fellowship in 2021. Its mission is to support the next generation of African mammalogists by awarding individual grants of $1,500 and an online ASM membership to African nationals pursuing graduate degrees. Between 2014 and 2018, 2-3 awards were granted annually; in 2019, 4 proposals were funded, and in 2020 this number increased to 5. The increase in the number of recent awards reflects several generous donations—
