Standing opportunities
Astronomical Association of Queensland
The Edward Corbould Research Fund of the AAQ was established in 1987 with a grant of $50,000. The fund is to support research projects by amateur astronomers. The Association welcomes interest from secondary school students and amateur astronomers who would like to contribute to astronomy, but are unsure about how to prepare a research proposal. Be not afraid! AAQ has experienced amateur astronomical researchers who would be only too happy to assist you. Make contact with AAQ and discuss what is possible.
Queensland Frog Society’s Public Trust Fund
Students and researchers from secondary and tertiary institutes can apply for grants through this fund. These grants fund research projects that aim to uncover valuable information and help better understand Queensland’s frogs, which would not be possible without financial support from the fund. Details can be found on the Ric Nattrass Research Grant page of the QFS website.
Australian Academy of Science Grant opportunities from the Australian Academy of Science.
Australian Wildlife Society University Grants.
Australian Citizen Science Association
Many citizen science projects generate information that should be preserved and made widely available, but don’t necessarily meet the restrictive criteria for scholarly scientific publication. Citizen scientists and naturalists can browse the attached guide Publishing Opportunities on how to choose an outlet for their material. For more detail see the page on Sharing Scientific Information
Would you like to publish your citizen science research in an open access journal for maximum public benefit but can’t quite afford the fees? There are no author charges to publish in the Proceedings of The Royal Society of Queensland, an open access journal.
Commonwealth Government
Grant opportunities from the Commonwealth Government.
Landcare
The periodic newsletter of Queensland Water and Land Carers includes announcements of grants in the landcare and environmental restoration fields.
