Tropical Biology Association Small Grants Scheme

Authored by Brad Czerniak
View resource

The Tropical Biology Association supports conservation projects that strengthen the proficiency of their alumni and alumni groups in natural resource management and research. The projects must be designed to solve a specific conservation or research problem in Africa and show impact.

Three types of grants are offered each year:

  • Project grants for conservation, research or education projects with clear and measurable impacts. This grant aims to catalyse collaboration and build alumni capacity.
  • Follow up grants to support previously supported projects that have identified a next phase to generate further impact.
  • Networking grants to support alumni groups in organising networking events (in-country students ' conference, seminars, workshops etc.) as well as apply for formal registration of their group. Only members of a Tropical Biology Association alumni group can apply.

In addition, the proposed project must:

  • Focus on issues that have a demonstrable need, and are a priority for the alumni group.
  • Be collaborative and encourage exchange of expertise; the project team should constitute not less than 50% members of the TBA alumni group.
