Deadline: 1 March 2024
The Hermon Slade Foundation is thrilled to announce its Grant Program to improve systems of managing land, water, plants and animals in ways that will enhance the productivity and quality of food, fisheries, plants and forests, while simultaneously conserving the natural environment, preserving biodiversity, avoiding pollution of soils and water, and enhancing human welfare.
Grants are awarded exclusively to Australian institutions, usually for activities within Australia. Occasionally activities located in countries of the south-west Pacific may also be funded.
Funding Information
- The Foundation typically provides project grants up to A$30,000 (ex GST) per year for up to three years.
Eligibility Criteria
- The project must be undertaken within Australia or countries of the south-west Pacific region, under the umbrella of an Australian university or other appropriate Australian institution.
- Projects that aim to improve systems of managing land, water, plants and animals in ways that will enhance the productivity and quality of food, fisheries, plants and forests, while simultaneously conserving the natural environment, preserving biodiversity, avoiding pollution of soils and water, and enhancing human welfare are particularly favoured.
- The project must form an identifiable element of work that would not be undertaken without the support of the Foundation. If the project is a sub-project of a larger investigation, it must be sufficiently discrete for the outputs and outcomes to be independently evaluated. Projects that may be seminal to subsequent larger grants from other sources are attractive to the Foundation.
- Project leaders may submit only one application to each round and may not hold more than one grant concurrently. Applications from students as project leaders are not accepted.
- Project leaders are expected to devote an appropriate amount of time to projects supported by the Foundation.
