AWR launches 9th Call for Project Proposals

AWR launches 9th Call for Project Proposals

Deadline: 5-Apr-23

The Antarctic Wildlife Research Fund (AWR) has launched the 9th Call for Project Proposals.

The Antarctic Wildlife Research Fund (hereafter AWR) wishes to contribute to and support the work of CCAMLR so that the Antarctic krill fishery is managed in a manner consistent with the precautionary approach detailed in the Convention text. The aims of the AWR have therefore been developed to be consistent with the work of CCAMLR.

It is envisaged that any research and monitoring work supported by the AWR will build, incrementally, towards a new management approach for the krill fishery. Funded work should therefore support, rather than replace, the work of CCAMLR. In developing research proposals for consideration by the AWR, it is hoped that projects will be collaborative in nature, including between scientists from different CCAMLR Members, between scientists and krill fishing companies and between government and non-governmental scientists.

Preferred Research
Funding Information

For the current round of funding ca USD $150 000  is available. It is unlikely that all of this amount will be awarded to a single project, though this may be possible for a particularly compelling proposal. Successful proposals might generally expect to receive in the order of USD $25,000 to USD $90,000.

Eligibility Criteria

Preference to researchers from South America, Asia, Africa and Russia.
