Description
1) Objective
Although the natural world is a source of great beauty and happiness, vast numbers of animals routinely face serious challenges such as disease, hunger, or natural disasters. There is no “one-size-fits-all” solution to these threats. However, even as we recognize that improving the welfare of free-ranging wild animals is difficult, we believe that humans have a responsibility to help whenever we can. Most wildlife research has been limited to the harms humans cause. Therefore, there is still much uncertainty about what animals’ lives are like in the wild and what humans could do to help responsibly. Answering those questions will not be easy. The diversity of animal species and the complexity of ecosystem interactions requires a wider range of research expertise than any one organization could support.
Their grants aim to empower wild animal welfare researchers to explore topics neglected by other funders. We support research that advances our understanding of the fundamental concepts, novel methods, and preliminary interventions that will most rapidly accelerate progress in the field.
2) Eligibility
This call is open to anyone, but they are especially interested in supporting postdocs and PhD students pursuing a long-term research career in the field of wild animal welfare, and researchers who have not previously included welfare considerations in their work. They particularly encourage applications from communities underrepresented in the sciences, including but not limited to people of color, self-identified women, and non-binary individuals.
3) Location
Actions can take place in various countries worldwide.
4) Budget
Grants may range from $2,000 – $30,000.
5) Application
Applicants need to complete the brief expression of interest form by June 30, 2022. In July, they will invite select applicants to submit full proposals (due September 30, 2022). Decisions are expected by January 31, 2023.
