BOU - available funding schemes


The BOU offers two different award schemes for those undertaking ornithological research.


BOU Small Research Grants

Awards of up to £2000 per project aimed at supporting small projects outright and to part-fund medium-sized research programmes.

2011 awards will be announced in March.

Further information, guidelines and application form.


BOU Career Development Bursaries

These aim to support short-term research positions for young (or early career) ornithologists, between a first and higher degree programme or immediately after completion of a higher degree. Successful grant proposals will combine the applicant’s development of skills that will be useful for their future career in ornithology with sound science.

2011 awards will be announced in March.
