Description
1) Objective
The grant will facilitate research informing teaching and learning practices which improve learners’ experience while promoting excellence in teaching. They aim to support members and the wider community involved in education to ensure that ecological education continues to be inspiring, innovative and relevant to learners.
By funding research on education methods within ecology, they would like to develop evidence to inform teaching and learning practices that improve the student experience. Recognising and supporting educational research will also promote excellence in teaching and encourage those not currently involved in educational research to engage.
The projects awarded should aim to do one or more of the following:
- Provide evidence-based examples of innovative and effective practice in learning and teaching.
- Systematically review existing practices to produce evidence-informed recommendations.
- Explore emerging areas of education research to identify future needs/practices.
- Disseminate best practices in teaching and learning to other practitioners
2) Eligibility
Applicants must have BES membership and can be from any level of teaching ecology, from early years to lifelong learning, within formal or informal educational settings. Industry professionals exploring new teaching ideas are also eligible. The grants are awarded to individuals, not organizations, and cannot be used for work forming part of a degree, masters, PhD, or fellowship. Applicants are responsible for obtaining all relevant permits and permissions.
3) Location
Actions can take place in various countries worldwide.
4) Budget
Grants can award up to £5,000, covering costs such as casual and short-term assistance, small equipment specific to the research, data collection costs, and travel and subsistence for educational location visits. The grant does not cover the lead applicant’s salary, institutional overheads, general equipment, or tuition fees.
5) Application
There will be two rounds of funding in 2024, opening on January 11th and July 11th. Applications are submitted through the BES online grants system, with a limit of one application per round across all grant schemes. Projects should run for a maximum of 12 months. Applicants must submit a report within three months of the grant end date. Applications require two reference statements, and proposals will be reviewed by the BES Grants Committee.
