Print PageScience for management awards
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.
Applications across the physical, biological and social sciences fields are encouraged to apply and project proposals could range anywhere from observing social attitudes towards Reef management, to examining the biological characteristics of a particular reef species.
The Science for Management Awards are open for applications from 1 December 2011 and close on 31 January 2012.
