Zoology Research Support Fund
The aim of this Fund is to transform our ability to support our zoologists, and enable us to respond and innovate in our fast-changing subject.
The Department is home to a thriving community of scientists who share a deep interest in how animals develop, function, interact and evolve.
This Fund will:
- support innovative projects, where existing resources fall short
- provide flexible and agile support in fast-moving situations
Grants will be made from the Fund in response to applications made by members of the Department of Zoology.
How you can help
- £500 will make a significant contribution towards the costs of zoologists wishing to publish their work in the best open-access journals
- £750 will provide support towards the travel costs of a Postdoctoral Associate or PhD student carrying out fieldwork, visiting laboratories or attending a conference
- £750 will enable a zoologist to develop an aspect of their research as an outreach programme, for example in collaboration with our Museum of Zoology
- £1,000 will support a graduate student for one month to extend or complete an exceptionally promising piece of research
- £5,000 will help a zoologist to develop a novel, exploratory project, perhaps in association with matched funding, which could then become a full-scale research application
