The Victorian Regional Group of Birds Australia is calling for postgraduate
students enrolled for Masters or PhD degrees at Victorian Universities and
Colleges to apply for one year Research Grants of up to $2500.
These grants will be awarded to support field based ornithological research
studying the behaviour, conservation biology and ecology of birds and the
management of their habitats. It is expected that fieldwork will be carried
out in Victoria.
Each grant may be renewed for a further year provided that a satisfactory
progress report is received, a second application is made and the financial
position of BA-Vic continues to support this expenditure.
Applications must be approved by the student's supervisor and submitted by
them through the Institute's Office for Research and/or Graduate Studies. A
letter from that office must accompany one hard-copy of each application
stating that the Institution is willing to accept the grant and that it will
be exempt from all administrative and other charges. Grants are made on the
strict understanding that funds will be exempt from University and College
administration charges.
Application guidelines and application forms are available from the Research
Grants section of the Victorian Regional Group of Birds Australia website
http://www.birdsaustralia.com.au/the-organisation/vic-research-grants.html,
or in hard copy form from the address below. Completed application forms
should be submitted electronically, as a Word document, to
; or as one single-sided hard copy together with the
letter of authorisation and approval from the appropriate University or
College to the address below. Applications must be received by Friday 28th
August 2009.
Please note that applications will not be considered unless all necessary
permits are listed and have been obtained from the appropriate government
authorities and ethics committees. If the permits have only been applied for
when the application is submitted, the date on which they were applied for
must be stated and, when received, the permit must be photocopied and sent
to the address below by Friday 28th August 2009.
