Get Money, Work With Mollusc - Its That Easy!

On behalf of the Malacological Society of London, I would like to remind you of the pending deadline (December 15th) for the Society’s Research Grants and Travel Awards.

Research Grants:
The Research Grants scheme was established to commemorate the Society’s Centenary in 1993. Under this scheme the Society anticipates making at least five awards per year, each with a value of up to £1,000, to support research on molluscs that is likely to lead to publication. Grants are preferentially conferred on students and researchers without professional positions, but without regard to nationality or membership of the Society. Preference is also given to discrete research projects that fall within the subject areas covered by the Society’s journal, Journal of Molluscan Studies. Applicants should bear in mind these criteria when submitting an application. In addition applications will be assessed in terms of scientific merit, significance and financial value of the research project, and the degree to which the proposed research will benefit the scientific aspirations of the applicant.
Successful applications to the Research Grants scheme that are concerned with the study of Bivalvia may be awarded as Sir Charles Maurice Yonge Awards.


Travel Awards:
Travel Awards are available as bursaries to support attendance at a conference or workshop relevant to malacology. Grants are preferentially conferred on students and researchers without professional positions. The maximum amount for one of these awards is £500 and the Society anticipates that at least five awards will be made annually. In years when a UNITAS Congress is held, a number of these awards are likely to be used to support student participation at this meeting. Preference will be given to members of the Society.
Successful applications for Travel Awards that are concerned with the study of Bivalvia may be awarded as Sir Charles Maurice Yonge Awards.
