The Darwin Now Awards (UK)
The British Council's Darwin Now awards offers small grants to allow individuals working in the sciences, humanities, arts and media, the opportunity to pursue a stand-alone piece of fieldwork/research outside the UK.
Projects supported are those relating to Darwin, his legacy, evolutionary theory, or biodiversity, and must be innovative and novel with ambitious but achievable outcomes, which could take into account possible wider cultural implications. Projects must be a stand-alone piece of fieldwork/research which results in a clear outcome, for example: a published paper, a book, or an exhibition. Up to £5000 is available for each award as a contribution towards travel and subsistence and any consumable equipment costs. The Darwin Now Awards will be assessed in a two-stage process. Deadline for applications is 5 December 2008....
