Dr. Stephen Beckerman will use this award to complete ethnographic research on a South American tropical forest society, the Barí of Venezuela. There are four major data gaps to be addressed in this research: 1) the locations and identities of all Barí local and territorial groups; 2) Barí relationships with non-Barí neighbors; 3) partible paternity, a very rare kinship system in which multiple fathers share paternal status for a single child; and 4) the relationship between household economy and marriage practices. Completing documentation of Barí society is important because there are very few groups for which pre-contact ecological and demographic information still can be gathered. Research to date has shown that Barí social practices were ecologically sound. For example, partible paternity significantly increases child survivorship. Completing documentation of the Barí will help scientists to understand the full range of human socioecological systems. The research also supports international scientific collaboration.

斯蒂芬·贝克曼博士将利用该奖项完成对南美热带森林协会（委内瑞拉巴里）的人种学研究。本研究有四个主要数据缺口需要解决：1）所有巴里地方和领土群体的位置和身份； 2) 巴里与非巴里邻居的关系； 3）可分父权，这是一种非常罕见的亲属制度，其中多个父亲分享一个孩子的父亲身份； 4）家庭经济与婚姻实践的关系。完成巴里社会的记录非常重要，因为很少有群体能够收集接触前的生态和人口信息。迄今为止的研究表明，巴里的社会实践对生态是无害的。例如，可分割的亲子关系可以显着提高儿童的存活率。完成巴里的记录将有助于科学家全面了解人类社会生态系统。该研究还支持国际科学合作。
