Science for Management Awards

The Science for Management Awards are intended to assist the research projects of students working towards a Doctorate or Masters degree, which make a contribution to the management of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) will therefore consider applications from a variety of disciplines. Studies may involve any aspect of the physical, biological or social, cultural and economic environments of the Great Barrier Reef. Before applying, applicants are encouraged to review the GBRMPA's research priorities, and to discuss their research with GBRMPA staff (contact the Project Officer as below).

Successful applicants will be expected to submit a report to the Authority at the end of the year in which the grant is awarded. The report should include a section specifically explaining the relevance and application of the results to management, conservation and sustainable use of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and the World Heritage Area.

Applicants should already be supported by their administering institution for basic expenses and have access to general equipment, library, laboratory and computing facilities for the research. Grants are usually in order of between $1000 and $4000 (including GST).

Applications close 31 January 2008
