The bursary scheme is aimed at researchers intending to follow a career in ornithology and who wish to develop their skills during or after completion of a first or higher degree. Awards will not be given to projects that form part of a degree programme, or for expeditions.
Awards of up to £2500 will be provided to cover a period of career development lasting 6-10 weeks, during which a scientific research project will be conducted. The bursary award may include a weekly allowance for the participant and expenses. In exceptional circumstances, an award over this amount may be considered.
Applicants should have completed a first or higher degree within the previous two years.
