British Ecological Society &Wiley Research Equity Fund
All Information
The Research Equity Fund supports ecology researchers, practitioners and students from underrepresented regions and communities. Its purpose is to strengthen research capacity by closing skills gaps, expanding professional networks and increasing the visibility of researchers and their work. It is especially relevant to Nigerian ecology researchers planning a collaborative training activity, a research-capacity workshop or another initiative that benefits a wider group of underrepresented researchers. The fund is not intended simply to top up an ordinary research grant or pay for an individual’s work without a wider equity benefit. Because the application window has not opened yet, treat this as a forthcoming opportunity rather than an application that can be submitted today.
