Research Grants
Subject to the availability of funds the Conchological Society may make grants to a maximum of £1000 per year. The grants will be for projects promoting the objectives of the society, and preference will be given to projects which focus on molluscan biogeography, ecology, taxonomy, conservation or palaeontology.
Anyone may apply for a grant by obtaining a copy of the application form and rules for grant requests from the Honorary General Secretary. Non-Members will be encouraged to join the Society, and no one is normally allowed more than one grant every three years.
The closing date for receipt of applications is 1st. November each year. Please ensure that the application is returned to the Honorary General Secretary which will provide a decision in sufficient time to comply with the booking requirements of cheap travel fares. Applicants will be notified of results approximately six weeks after the closing date. Successful applicants are expected to produce a written account for inclusion in one of the Society's publications of the work for which the grant was given.
