Eligibility

L.S.B. Leakey Foundation Emergency Fund for Primate Field Research offers numerous awards of $25000 each.

Description

The Leakey Foundation offers the Primate Research Fund as emergency funding to keep long-term primate field sites operational until other funding can be secured. Long-term refers to sites with 10 years or more of behavioral data collection on individuals. Priority will be given to sites with a clear research and conservation focus that are threatened with the loss of long-term datasets due to a gap in funding or other emergencies. The award maximum is $25,000 for one year. After evaluation, a second year may be funded. Applicants should be the Principal Investigator, Director, or Co-Director of an established long-term study site focused on research and conservation of wild primates. The field research site must have 10 years or more of continuous behavioral data collected on individuals. Applications accepted year-round. Please visit the award's website for more information.
