Applications open for Holohil Grant Program

For more than 35 years Holohil has supported endangered species research and educational work for a variety of agencies and researchers. During that time, they have donated transmitters predominately for bat and raptor research. While they still have a strong commitment to these groups of animals, they wish to extend the support to other species that have not previously been included.  TIn 2016, they introduced the new Holohil Grant Program (HGP), which aims to offer Holohil transmitters at a reduced (or no) cost to projects deserving of support.

Funding Information

• Each quarter, Holohil will be supporting projects by donating up to CAD$2,500.00 toward the purchase of Holohil transmitters.

Eligibility Criteria

• The Holohil Grant Program is open to scientists and non-scientists from anywhere in the world.
• All transmitters from the Holohil product line are available for the HGP.  Although, because some units are highly specialized and sometimes require relatively expensive components, some grants may be limited to fewer free units than others.
• You only apply for one project per quarter.  However, if you are involved in multiple projects, the same Principle Investigator may apply once each quarter for each project.
• If you applied and were not awarded a grant during one quarter, you may re-apply in another quarter.

Criteria

• Holohil Grant Program would like to support projects that generally meet the following criteria:
  • The project makes significant use of Holohil transmitters for data collection.
  • The project aims to advance scientific knowledge.
  • The project contributes to conservation.
  • The project engages/educates the public.
  • The project involves underrepresented study species of high research or conservation value.
