Enhancing our efforts to foster the next generation of researchers, explorers, and conservationists, National Geographic now provides seed grants to individuals between the ages of 18 and 25 in the fields we have a rich history of supporting. Young Explorers grants provide the opportunity for many recipients to pursue their first experiences in the field.
Applicants are not required to have advanced degrees. However, a record of prior experience in the fields of research, conservation, or exploration should be submitted as it pertains to the proposed project.
Young Explorers Grants vary in amount depending on significance of the project, though most range between US $2,000 and $5,000. National Geographic Society funds often serve as complementary support - thus the program encourages applicants to seek additional, concurrent funding from other sources.

Australian Pork Limited recognises that travel is an essential component of the process of R&D and technology transfer. Furthermore, reports and experiences from such travel are important for APL's program and the industry at large. Each year funds are allocated to support travel to conferences and workshops where it can be shown to be of benefit to the Australian pork industry. Travel funds are limited and thus APL is unlikely to provide support for simply presenting a paper at a conference. APL expects those travelling, to critically review papers presented and provide a report to APL that includes recommendations for industry.
The Distinguished Visitor award is primarily aimed at those industry personnel who are recognised for their contribution to their respective national/international industry specialty and would potentially be able to extend that expertise for the benefit of the Australian pork industry. Funds may be provided to enable producer groups seeking to access key individuals involved in research projects or others involved in technology implementation to visit regional groups and discuss their research or findings. A condition of this award is that the group provides a contribution towards costs.
Applications for travel and distinguished visitor awards close on 1 March, 1 July, 1 October and 1 December.

Short-term fellowships are established to advance molecular biology research by helping scientists to visit another laboratory with a view to applying a technique not available in the home laboratory.
Applicants can be Post-doctoral scientists with less than 10 years of professional experience since finishing their Ph.D. degree or Pre-doctoral scientists. All applications must involve either a laboratory of origin or a receiving institute from one of the EMBC member states (refer to Web-Site for list of Locations).
Short-Term Fellowships are intended primarily to support researchers early in their careers who wish to work in a laboratory in another country for example to learn new techniques or to support the establishment of collaborations in a new area of research rather than ongoing projects.
Independent young researchers, early in their careers, are encouraged to apply.
The scope of HFSP funding ranges from biological functions at the molecular and cellular level up to biological systems including cognitive functions. Within this broad area, all levels of analysis are supported, from studies on genes and individual molecules, intracellular networks, intercellular associations in tissues and organs, to networks underlying complex functions of entire organisms. However, projects that involve only large-scale, systematic genome mapping and applied research (e.g. clinical) are not eligible to receive HFSP funding. Short-Term Fellowships are awarded for periods of 2 weeks to 3 months. Applications may be submitted throughout the year. Decisions on awards will be announced approximately 3-4 months after receipt of the complete application. Applicants must provide adequate time for review of the application before the start of the fellowship.

Research Grants 2010 Round 1
The ASEG was established to address the decline in student enrolments in exploration geophysics which is no doubt part of the apparent worldwide declining interest in science. The overall aim of the ASEG RF is to attract high calibre students into exploration geophysics and thus ensure a future supply of talented, highly skilled, geophysicists for industry.
The ASEG RF achieves its aim by promoting research in applied geophysics specifically by providing research grants at the B.Sc.(Hons.) and M.Sc level or equivalent. The ASEG RF Committee has now decided to extend support to Ph.D. projects. The grants are paid directly to the relevant Australian University departments to cover field or laboratory expenses associated with the project. Grants are not provided as student scholarships in order to preserve the tax deductibility status of donations.
Funds will be granted in support of research projects at B.Sc.(Hons.), M.Sc. and Ph.D. level carried out in an Australian Institution. For B.Sc.(Hons.) and M.Sc. projects, annual grants of up to $5,000 will be made to the University. Additional funds beyond $5,000 could be provided in exceptional cases, at the discretion of the ASEG Research Foundation. Grants of up to $10,000 per annum will be made for Ph.D projects. The funds are to be used in support of the project, eg. for travel costs, rental of equipment, etc. See the ASEG website for complete guidelines and eligibility requirements.

Applications consist of an initial proposal that contain a proposal cover sheet, proposal narrative and proposal budget. For proposals up to $40,000, a funding decision will be made on the basis of the initial proposal. For proposals over $40,000, the initial proposal will be used to decide whether to invite an expanded proposal. Initial proposals are accepted at any time, regardless of the level of funding requested. For proposals over $40,000, if you are invited to submit an expanded proposal, the deadlines normally fall at the beginning of April, July, and December each year, with notification taking place within eight months.

The Foundation takes a broad view of poverty: including the lack of secure income, culture, housing, health, community relationships, and employment, as well as a lack of financial resources. The links between poverty and poor health are well known and despite growth in national and world economies, poverty and related socio-economic inequalities in health remain significant. Health in indigenous communities in Australia is among the worst in the developed world. Impoverishment and disadvantage have an impact on all aspects of life, over generations, and diminish health, participation, and life itself. The Foundations goals are to address underlying problems that give rise to poverty and disadvantage, and to find ways to strengthen systems, services and communities to prevent impoverishment and to reduce its impact.
Myer Family Philanthropy supports projects that benefit the Australian community, and strategies that address: Symptoms: Alleviate the negative effects of poverty and disadvantage; New Initiatives: Pilot new ideas about how to address poverty and disadvantage; and Capacity Building: Strengthen communities' abilities to deal with poverty and disadvantage.
The current priority areas for the Poverty and Disadvantage Small Grants Program are as follows: 1) Communities experiencing social and economic exclusion with particular emphasis on Indigenous Australians, asylum seekers and refugees, and people living in isolated rural and remote areas of Australia, 2) Children and young people from impoverished backgrounds whose opportunities for development and advancement are curtailed, and 3) Small, discreet projects that meet the needs of a community rather than supplementary funding for large projects. A small, discreet project will be considered to have a total budget of up to $50,000.
Fellowships are granted for one year with the possibility of prolongation for an additional year. The starting date of the visit should not be later than three years after receipt of the Doctoral Degree. The monthly fellowship (tax free) is $1,250 and the housing allowance $100,. Payments are made in Israeli Shekels and linked to the ?representative rate of exchange?. Fellows are entitled to one airline ticket (Apex or similar kind of ticket) for a direct flight from their home town to Israel and back.
Eighteen-month Postdoctoral Scholar awards are offered annually to recipients of new or recent doctorates in the fields of chemistry, engineering, geology, geophysics, mathematics, meteorology, physics, and biology as well as oceanography. In order to be eligible for one of these awards, applicants must have received their doctoral degree within the past 2-3 years. Recipients of the 2009-2010 awards will receive a stipend of $55,000 per year for an 18 month appointment, plus a relocation allowance. In addition, limited support is available for travel expenses, equipment, supplies and special services.
Applications will be accepted from new or recent doctoral recipients with research interests associated with the following; Applied Ocean Physics & Engineering; Biology; Geology & Geophysics; Marine Chemistry & Geochemistry; Physical Oceanography.
