Subject: IUCN/Ford Foundation Small Grants Programme - Sustainable
Use


For information....

The IUCN Sustainable Use Team, through a grant from the Ford Foundation, 
is offering small grants to promote scholarly contributions from 
individuals from developing countries in the field of sustainable use of 
biological systems. The aim is to promote the authority of science from 
developing countries and foster opportunities for scholarly exchange. 
The programme will run until the end of June 2002. Priority will be 
given to proposals that address the complex connections between people 
and nature,
exploring the concept of sustainability. Applications related to
activities that employ innovative inter- or multidisciplinary approaches 
are the most likely to be funded. Support will be provided in only one 
category:

1. Participation at scholarly/technical meetings. This will generally
include travel and per diem costs, but may also cover costs associated
with preparing a presentation (e.g., production of audio-visual
materials), and meeting registration costs. Grants will be for a maximum 
of $2000.

In general, the programme is intended to support the communication of
research findings, project results, and lessons learned from developing 
countries. Applications will be reviewed on a quarterly basis. The 
following quarterly application deadlines will be used in the review 
process: March 31, June 30. For more information please visit the IUCN
