IUCN SSC Specialist Group Grants
The Chicago Zoological Society makes annual grants to IUCN Species Survival Commission Specialist Groups for small projects identified in Action Plans or other group priority setting exercises. There are two grant cycles, one with awards in May and the other with awards in October. The Fund will support projects up to $5,000.

Priority will be given to projects that are clearly of critical need for species or habitats, that are likely to provide good, immediate results. Education /communications projects are welcome. Strict biological research projects are not a priority for this fund, unless there can be a direct application of the results.

Applications must be made through the SSG Executive Committee. Contact Rachel Cavanagh, SSG Programme Officer (address on p19) for details.
