The Systematics Research Fund

 

A joint fund of the Linnean Society and the Systematics Association, the Systematics Research Fund provides grants annually for small-scale research projects in the field of systematics. 

 

Contributions are typically made towards fieldwork expenditure, the purchase of scientific equipment or expertise (e.g. buying time on analytical equipment), specimen preparation (including the cost of temporary technical assistance), and publication costs.  Projects of a more general or educational nature will also be considered, provided that they include a strong systematics component. 

 

The fund does not provide support for attendance at scientific meetings, student maintenance or tuition fees and payments for Bench Fees.  Projects already substantially funded by other bodies may be disadvantaged.
