Palaeontographical Society Research Fund
From Darwin's Barnacles to the Cycadales of the Wealden the Palaeontographical Society has published monographs on the British fossil flora and fauna for over 150 years.
Awards from the Palaeontological Society Research fund are made to assist palaeontological research (travel, visits to museums, fieldwork, etc.) within the Society's remit of describing the palaeontological fauna and flora of the British Isles <http://www.nhm.ac.uk/hosted_sites/palsoc/>
It is intended that two awards will be made in each year and the total amount awarded will not normally exceed £1,000. No definite age limit is applied, although some preference may be given to applicants at the start of their careers or those without alternative sources of funding. The award is open to both amateur and professional palaeontologists, but preference will be given to members of the Society. The awards will be announced by 31st May 2006.
Electronic submission of applications to the Secretary [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> is preferred and will comprise a CV, an account of research aims and objectives (5,000 characters maximum), and a breakdown of the proposed expenditure. Each application should be accompanied by the name and contact details of a scientific referee. Successful candidates must produce a short illustrated report for the Palaeontological Association's Newsletter and are asked to consider publication of their research results in the Palaeontographical Society's monograph series. The deadline for applications is 10th April 2005.
