Scientific Product Grant Program to support Advancement of Animal Biology Research
Deadline: 15-May-22
The Wildlife Acoustics’ Scientific Product Grant Program is now open to support the advancement of animal biology research, habitat monitoring and environmental conservation.
The Grant Program provides scientists with products and software to help further their research into the study of bats, birds, frogs and other vocal wildlife.
Funding Information
They are happy to announce that they are increasing the value that they are giving away per quarter through the grant program, from $5,000 to $12,000 per quarter. They hope this allows them to support more critical bioacoustics research projects around the world.
Eligibility Criteria
Accessories such as microphones and cables are eligible for the program. However, 3rd party accessories such as SD cards, batteries and battery chargers, padlocks and cable locks are not eligible.
US or Non-US government agencies are not eligible for the program.
For each application, please include documentation that indicates tax exempt or non-profit status for your country.
Due to the volume of applications, you may only apply for one project per quarter.
Kaleidoscope subscriptions are eligible for the grant program.
