The Science for Management Awards assist research projects of Doctorate or Masters students in the physical, biological and social sciences.

The GBRMPA considers applications from a variety of disciplines for projects which are relevant to the planning and management of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and World Heritage Area in a changing climate. 

Before applying, students are encouraged to review the Australian Government's Climate Change Action Plan  2007-2012, the 2011 Guidelines [251KB] and the Award Conditions [49KB].

Successful applicants are required to submit a report to the GBRMPA by 31 December 2011 which includes a section 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 in a changing climate.

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 between $1000 and $4000 (including GST).
