The Malacological Society of London

The Malacological Society of London is currently seeking applications from
researchers for is Research Grants and Travel Awards:

Research Grants

The Research Grants Scheme was established to commemorate the Society's
Centenary in 1993. Under this scheme, the Society anticipates making at
least
five awards each year, each with a value of up to £1000 to support research
on
molluscs that is likely to lead to publication.  The closing date for
applications each year is 31st December.  Grants are preferentially
conferred on
students and researchers without professional positions, without regard to
nationality or membership of the Society. Preference is also given to
discrete
research projects that fall within the subject areas covered by the
Society's
Journal of Molluscan Studies. Applications will be assessed by scientific
merit,
value of the project, and the extent to which the research will benefit the
applicant's scientific aspirations. The successful applicants will be
notified by 31st March and announced at the Annual General Meeting

Travel Grants

Travel Grants are available as bursaries to support student attendance at a
conference or workshop relevant to malacology. Applicants do not have to be
members of the Society. The value of each of these awards is up to £500, and
the Society anticipates that at least five awards will be made annually. The
application should have the support of the project supervisor. In years when
a
UNITAS Congress is held, a number of these awards are likely to be used to
support student participation at this meeting. There are two closing dates
each year, 30th June for travel starting between 1st September of the
current
year and 28th February of the following year, and 31st December for travel
starting between 1st March and 31st August of the following year. 

Sir Charles Maurice Yonge Awards

Successful applications for Research Grants or Travel Awards that are
concerned with the study of Bivalvia may be awarded as Sir Charles Maurice
Yonge
Awards. There is no separate application process.
