2016-17 round of the ABRS National Taxonomy Research Grants Program
The 2016-17 round of the ABRS National Taxonomy Research
Grants Program - Research and Capacity-Building Grants streams is NOW OPEN for
applications.
The Australian Biological Resources Study (ABRS) provides grants to Australian
institutions to support Honours, Masters and PhD students to undertake
taxonomic research. The ABRS also
provides research grants to established researchers for taxonomic
projects.
The 2016-17 round of the ABRS National Taxonomy Research Grants
Program - Research and Capacity-Building Grants streams is NOW OPEN for applications.
The ABRS provides online delivery of taxonomic and biological
information on taxa known to occur in Australia. Grants can be awarded to
research projects where the primary aim is to undertake taxonomic research on
the Australian biota or to develop products that aid in the dissemination of
taxonomic information.
The ABRS and the Council of Heads of Australasian Herbaria have
partnered with the Atlas of Living Australia to develop an online Australasian
eFlora platform to support collaborative and more flexible creation and
delivery of online floras. The ABRS is seeking to support projects that will
assist it to develop content, fill gaps and maintain the currency of the Flora
of Australia, consistent with its curation and delivery on the Australasian
eFlora platform.
The ABRS is also seeking to support projects that update and expand
the data held in the Australian Faunal Directory.
