Be grounded in sound scientific methodology, be logistically feasible, and have a high probability of success.
Be impact and action-oriented not purely data collection or survey.
Must include a component that evaluates the success in saving elephants.
Projects must begin in the year for the portion of the project which funds are requested, but not before funds are to be awarded.
Funds will not be awarded for elements of a project that will have already occurred before awards are made.
If the project includes direct contact or capture of animals, it must meet humane standards of care when animals are involved.
