Description
1) Objective
The Long-term Research Grants are designed to provide funding over a 10-year period for ecological studies conducted anywhere in the world. These grants aim to support existing short-term projects with at least 1-2 years of data, enabling them to extend into long-term studies. The focus is on establishing a new portfolio of long-term experiments or datasets that are relevant to current ecological issues. Projects can encompass various ecological aspects, including ecological restoration, habitat creation, control of alien species, and climate change.
2) Eligibility
Applicants must have BES membership. The grants are open to all types of ecologists, including conservation practitioners (e.g., Reserve Managers, consultants) and university academics. Grants are awarded to individuals, not organizations. Applicants are responsible for obtaining all relevant permits and permissions for their proposed work.
3) Location
Actions can take place in various countries worldwide.
4) Budget
The first five years’ worth of funding (£3,500) is claimable in year 1, with an average of £500 per year for data collection and an additional £1,000 reserved for year 1. After a satisfactory mid-project report, an additional £3,500 is available in the sixth year for new or replacement equipment and data collection for the remaining grant period. Funding can cover equipment, software, travel, accommodation, subsistence, and hiring personnel for data collection.
5) Application
Applicants need to use the online grants system. There are two rounds of funding in 2024, with opening dates on January 11th and July 11th. Applications are made through the BES online grants system. Applicants can submit one grant application per round, across all grant schemes. Projects should start within 6 months of the grant award date and run over 10 years, with a mid-project report due after 5 years.
