Deadline: 12-Aug-25
The Eucalypt Australia is requesting applications for its Research Grants to support projects that advance knowledge and understanding of eucalypts.
Focus Areas
- Eucalypts – including (but not limited to) ecology, conservation, genetics, taxonomy, history, cultural significance, or sustainable use
Priority Theme
- Eucalypt Biodiversity – discovery, conservation, management and recovery
- Discovery & Conservation— e.g. New knowledge of the genetic diversity of eucalypts, species and populations to underpin biodiversity conservation;
- Discovery & Recovery — e.g. Understanding environmental stress, eucalypt dieback & resilience to inform planning and planting
- Management — e.g. co-funding for people, training and capacity building, to support policy, planning & conservation tools
- Management & Recovery — e.g. partnership for a landscape ‘on-the-ground’ project to support conservation, recovery and management, including indigenous partnerships
Funding Information
- Grant amount: $25,000 per annum
- Project period: Typically up to 12 months, but can be extended to $50,000 over two years as applicable.
Eligibility Criteria
- Applicants can be individuals, groups or organisations with an ABN who are undertaking projects that:
- are located in Australia
- are not for profit
- align with the objectives of the Trust.
Selection Criteria
- Eucalypt Australia is aware of the effort and time taken preparing applications. In a competitive grants environment, priority will be given to applications based on:
- alignment with the Trust’s funding priorities.
- the scientific merit of the application and likelihood of cost-effective delivery against the stated objectives. Scientific merit is judged by peer review of the quality of the background information, the logic of the proposal and the experimental design.
- likelihood of cost-effective delivery against the stated objectives.
- justification of the budget. Components of the project budget for which funds are sought from Eucalypt Australia must be well justified – both travel and equipment must be essential for the project. Costs associated with attending conferences and publication costs levied by scientific journals will not be supported.
- co-contributions (cash and in-kind).
- interviews. Applicants may be interviewed.
