Science for management awards

Due to resource limitations, the Science for Management Awards will not be available in 2013. The Awards are expected to recommence in 2014.

Doctorate and Masters students in the bio-physical and social science fields are encouraged to apply for the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority Science for Management Awards which support new management-relevant research across a broad range of subjects.

Research projects that address the risks faced by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and World Heritage Area in today's changing climate are the focus of the Awards program.

The Awards offer an opportunity for the Agency to gain a fresh perspective of the Reef and its threats, with the students' research contributing to improved future management of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.
