APPLICATION INFORMATION FOR ADMB GRANT AWARD
The goals of the ADMB Foundation (http://admb-foundation.org) are to coordinate development and promote use of the AD Model Builder software (http://admb-project.org). The fisheries field has had a central role in the development and use of ADMB, and there are literally thousands of ADMB applications in fisheries.
The ADMB Foundation has established an ADMB Grant Award to recognize outstanding student achievement in the application of statistical modeling in fisheries. The ADMB Grant Award may be valued up to $600 to assist with travel expenses to participate in the American Fisheries Society Annual meeting.
