Description
1) Objective
JRS invests in the technical and the institutional activities necessary to: (1) Enhance the value of biodiversity data; (2) Connect biodiversity data users to biodiversity data providers; (3) Create broad awareness of the value of biodiversity data and information services, and (4) Build the capacity to use and produce biodiversity data, including the partnerships and networks to sustain the work over the long-term.
JRS’ strategy to advance the field of biodiversity informatics and improve conservation decision making is to connect data publication to knowledge use related to pollinators’ biodiversity and to freshwater biodiversity. By focusing our resources on two domains of conservation and within limited geographic areas, we aim to sustain our investments in technology, capacity, and projects. Our three programs of grantmaking are:
- Freshwater Biodiversity and Resources
- Pollinator Biodiversity and Services
- Building Capacity and Partnerships for Biodiversity Informatics
2) Eligibility
JRS grants are open to institutions based in sub-Saharan Africa.
3) Location
They fund projects across Africa, America and occasionally in Europe with a focus sub-Saharan Africa.
4) Budget
An average grant award is about $175,000 over three years. About ten grants are awarded each year. JRS is willing to support expenses typical of indirect costs but requires these be directly accounted for. JRS is a charitable entity and does not match the indirect cost rates of the U.S. government or other entities.
5) Application
The Foundation launches regular requests for proposals throughout the year. In addition, they are are happy to learn about ideas at any point to assess whether they are likely to fit within the scope of the JRS strategy and upcoming calls. To make an inquiry, applicants may either: (1) complete the JRS Inquiry Form and send it using the document upload form given on their website; (2) provide a summary of the project in the form on their website; or (3) upload an inquiry note in their own format. Inquiries may be brief and informal and can be submitted anytime of the year.
