2007 SEED GRANTS AND MATCHING GRANTS
FOR LONG-TERM RESEARCH PROJECTS
Los Amigos Research Center and Conservation Concession
Madre de Dios, Peru
The Amazon Conservation Association (ACA) and its Peruvian counterpart, the Asociación para la Conservación de la Cuenca Amazónica (ACCA), announces a seed and matching grant program for established researchers at the post-doc level and above. One-year seed grants of up to $20,000 will fund the first year of multi-year research projects that are seeking but have not yet secured other funding. One-year matching grants of up to $10,000 will subsidize research costs for the first year of long-term research projects that have already secured other funding.
Projects must be based at the Los Amigos Research Center and Conservation Concession in Amazonian Peru. Before preparing a proposal, applicants should familiarize themselves with ACA's research priorities page, which describes a significant change from previous grant cycles. Applicants should also browse the CICRA research project page to ensure that their proposed research complements ongoing work at the station and fits with ACA's long term goals in science and conservation.
Applicants should send a one-page concept letter to the ACA Science Director, Nigel Pitman, at npitman@amazonconservation.org Full proposals are by request only. The latest date proposals will be received is March 30, 2007. Concept letters and proposals received before that date will be processed as they arrive; requests made early are more likely to lead to funding.
