Guidelines and Call for Applications 2009
The Victorian Regional Group of Birds Australia is calling for postgraduate students enrolled for Masters or PhD degrees at Victorian Universities and Colleges to apply for one year Research Grants of up to $2500.
These grants will be awarded to support field based ornithological research studying the behaviour, conservation biology and ecology of birds and the management of their habitats. It is expected that fieldwork will be carried out in Victoria.
Each grant may be renewed for a further year provided that a satisfactory progress report is received, a second application is made and the financial position of BA-Vic continues to support this expenditure.
Applications must be approved by the student's supervisor and submitted by them through the Institute's Office for Research and/or Graduate Studies. A letter from that office must accompany one hard-copy of each application stating that the Institution is willing to accept the grant and that it will be exempt from all administrative and other charges. Grants are made on the strict understanding that funds will be exempt from University and College administration charges
Application guidelines and application forms are available from the Research Grants section of the Victorian Regional Group of Birds Australia website http://www.birdsaustralia.com.au/the-organisation/vic-research-grants.html, or in hard copy form from the address below.
