Title(9 June) Earthwatch — Support for Field-Based Research Projects 20252023-04-27 05:48
Writer

Earthwatch supports research projects that produce rigorous, relevant, and impactful science, address global change, and actively involve citizen-scientist participants. Requests for proposals (RFPs) for research projects in 2025 are released in the three following focal research topics: 1) Biodiversity Conservation; 2) Marine Conservation; 3) Traditional Ecological Knowledge. Due to safety concerns in certain regions of the world, research projects in the countries found in the Earthwatch "No Go" List will not be supported. All proposed projects must have a 3-year or longer duration, while priority will be given to longer-term research. To fit the Earthwatch citizen-science model, projects must have a strong rationale for using non-specialists (volunteers) to aid with data collection, scientific observation, or other research tasks. The lead Principal Investigator (PI), or at least one member of the team must have a Ph.D. in the field of the proposed research. Applicants can be of any nationality.


Maximum Amount: up to US$80,000

Submission Deadline: 9 June, 2023 (11:59pm EDT)

The Global EbA (Ecosystem-based Adaptation) Fund was established to provide rapid and targeted support through seed capital for innovative approaches to Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA). The Global EbA Fund grants should be complementary to and add value to existing work, by filing a gap in an existing project, enhancing the impact of an investment in EbA, contributing to policy upscaling of EbA, and/or serving to develop a larger proposal to another funding mechanism. The Global EbA will make contribution from USD50,000 to USD250,000 to selected projects that target one or more countries which are eligible for official development assistance (ODA) or global or thematic projects.
