PhD studies completed before the fellowship begins; preference for candidates more advanced in their careers with first postdoctoral experience (exceptionally promising candidates outside the criteria are considered); research rooted in natural history with a strong field component on any animal taxa, marine or terrestrial; residence in Panama; awards without regard to race, colour, religion, sex, gender identity, national origin, citizenship, age or disability

- Plan for residence in Panama and the bulk of the research in Panama, with comparative research possible elsewhere in the tropics
- Top candidates present on 4 June 2027 and award letters are sent by 7 June 2027
- Start within six months of notification, since the start date is flexible only within that window
