Australian Flora Foundation Research Grants, call for preliminary applications by 21 March 2011

The Australian Flora Foundation was established in 1981 with the aim of fostering scientific research on the biology and cultivation of Australian plants. It was thought that by encouraging research, a greater awareness of the value of the Australian flora would be developed resulting in explicit measures for their conservation and utilisation. Funds for research are raised through the membership of the Foundation, donations from various sources and the interest from bequests. Grants are available for projects which commence from December 2011. The Foundation expects to support between two and four projects at $5000 – $12,000 each in 2012 with possible extension into 2013. Preliminary applications are due by 21 March 2011. To find out more visit Research Grants for funding in 2012.
