taylorp-ga, Thanks for your patience. Just to reiterate, this is a long shot. Grants to individuals are hard to come, and grants to those without an extensive track record in the field are harder still. Nevertheless, it can't hurt to ask, so here are some places to try. Each of the groups listed below funds individuals from around the world for environmental research. Note that each institution has their own funding cycle, deadlines and procedures, so spend some time on their websites getting familiar with their requirements. These two might be your best bet: PADI Foundation (also known as Professional Association of Diving Instructors Foundation ) 9150 Wilshire Blvd., Ste. 300 Beverly Hills, CA 90212-3414 Contact: Charles P.

I had started working on this and didn't get a chance to lock it again, but instead of letting my research go to waste, I'll help you out by posting it here. Pafalafa-ga did a fine job, but these may help you a bit as well. Good luck. Project Aware Foundation-- This foundation funds diving projects which are meant to preserve underwater environments. They state, however, that they don't provide funds for travel or living expenses, and they also seem to be geared to project leaders rather than individuals. They will go up to £5000 on an award. Project Aware Foundation http://www.projectaware.org/americas/english/grants.asp Unit 7, St. Philips Central, Albert Rd. St. Philips, Bristol BS2-0PD United Kingdom info@projectaware.org.uk ---------------- British Sub-Aqua Jubilee Trust http://www.bsac.org/services/jubilee/activities.htm awards grants to divers for various projects Duke of Edinburgh Prize for the BSJT http://www.bsac.org/services/jubilee/dukeprize.htm ---------------- Conservation Science Institute Junior Fellows http://conservationinstitute.org/csi_fellows/fellowships.htm The Conservation Science Institute does not give out grants themselves, but if they select you as a Junior Fellow, they'll feature you on their website and help you select avenues of international funding for your research project. ---------------- British Ecological Society Undergraduate Ecological Project Support (UEPS) http://www.britishecologicalsociety.org/articles/grants/research/sepg/#Underg raduate_Ecological_Project_Support_(UEPS) grants for research projects or expeditions, which can take place in England or overseas Overseas Fellowship Scheme http://www.britishecologicalsociety.org/articles/grants/research/obf/ Small Ecological Grants support http://www.britishecologicalsociety.org/articles/grants/research/sepg/ ---------------- Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation The Moore Foundation gives grants in seven areas, one of which is marine conservation. They have given many grants to the World Wildlife Fund, so they may be sympathetic to this cause. Their website does not have a direct application that I could find, but they do provide their contact information. "For general information about the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, you can email us at info@moore.org or call us at 415-561-7700. We thank you for your interest. In an effort to become a paperless organization, we prefer that you send all correspondence electronically. However, the Foundation does have a Post Office Box (see below) where mail is collected once a week. Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation The Presidio of San Francisco P.O.

The WCS doesn't seem to give grants but you could contact them for more information. Wildlife Conservation Society http://www.wcs.org/ WCS grant http://www.moore.org/grantees/grant_summaries_content.asp?Grantee=wcs_fcr ---------------- Charles A. and Anne Morrow Lindbergh Foundation http://www.lindberghfoundation.org/grants/ "Each year, The Charles A. and Anne Morrow Lindbergh Foundation provides grants of up to $10,580 (a symbolic amount representing the cost of the "Spirit of St. Louis") to men and women whose individual initiative and work in a wide spectrum of disciplines furthers the Lindberghs' vision of a balance between the advance of technology and the preservation of the natural/human environment. To date, 270 men and women in the United States and abroad have received more than $2.6 million to support their work." ---------------- Toyota Foundation Research Grants applications http://www.toyotafound.or.jp/e_guide/eken.htm ---------------- British and Foreign Schools Society http://www.bfss.org.uk/grants.html ---------------- NESTA Ignite!
