Deadline: 20-Sep-21
The Primate Conservation, Incorporated (PCI) is seeking proposals for its grant program to fund field research that supports conservation programs for wild populations of primates.
Priority will be given to projects that study, in their natural habitat, the least known and most endangered species. The involvement of citizens from the country in which the primates are found will be a plus. The intent is to provide support for original research that can be used to formulate and to implement conservation plans for the species studied.
