Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $10,000
Summary
This grant opportunity is offered globally by a scientific exploration society committed to supporting field research and discovery. It is open to graduate students, post-graduate and early-career scientists, independent researchers, and in some cases undergraduates and high school students. Applicants must propose projects involving field-based research, often in disciplines such as earth sciences, ecology, anthropology, marine biology, conservation, and related fields.
One funding stream provides awards between $2,500 and $5,000 for graduate or post-doctoral work. These grants support expenses like travel to remote sites, field equipment, research supplies, and other project costs needed to conduct scientific investigations. Another stream, aimed at younger applicants (high school or undergraduate level), typically offers smaller grants averaging $1,500 to $3,000, intended to help launch early-career or student-led research efforts in field exploration.
There is also a larger award available for more substantial field projects addressing significant questions in marine science or environmental research. This can be up to $10,000 for proposals that demonstrate strong potential for new discoveries, novel approaches, and measurable impact.
Projects may take place anywhere in the world, and both domestic and international proposals are considered. Individuals are eligible; institutional affiliation is not always required but helps. The funds are not intended for general operating costs unrelated to the research, construction or infrastructure building without a research component, or purely archival or theoretical work that lacks field engagement.
Applicants are expected to submit detailed proposals with clear scientific objectives, timelines, budgets, and often letters of recommendation. Ethics, permissions, and field safety should be addressed. Awardees are required to report on findings, share results of their work, and may be expected to document their expedition or fieldwork through written reports or presentations.
The purpose of this grant program is to foster scientific discovery, support new explorers in developing their field research, and advance understanding in important scientific areas that benefit from exploration. It places emphasis on innovation, empirical work in challenging environments, and the development of the next generation of researchers.
