RESEARCH GRANTS

SMALL RESEARCH GRANTS

Localities benefiting from BOU support since 1972.

The BOU has a long tradition of providing financial support for research and expeditions. It administers the David Lack and Landsborough Thomson Trusts, funded by bequests and donations, from which research grants are awarded annually to sponsor scientific and conservation projects.

Most of BOU’s support is in the form of small grants (max. £2000, but usually awards of £1000 are given), but the BOU does from time to time sponsor much larger projects. For example, the BOU recently supported a 3-year project jointly with BirdLife International in Malaku, Indonesia, with a contribution of £48,000. The deadline for applications is 31 December.

Further information and application forms can be obtained from the BOU Office, BOU, PO Box 417, Peterborough PE7 3FX, UK; Tel & Fax 01 733 844 820; Email: bou @ bou.org.uk (remove spaces) or see elsewhere at this web-site.
