To celebrate our 22^nd anniversary and World Environment Day, we are proud to announce the program “Funbio Grants—Conserving the Future”, offering R$ 1 million in funding. The initiative is exclusive to field research conducted by master’s degree and doctoral students at institutions recognized by the Ministry of Education.

Projects eligible for funding must be related to one of the following thematic fields: 1) conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity; 2) landscape and degraded-area recovery; 3) conservation and sustainable management of fauna and flora; 4) territorial management for the protection of biodiversity; and 5) climate change and biodiversity conservation. Grants run to R$20 thousand for Master’s degree research and R$40 thousand for doctoral research.

“Funbio Grants—Conserving the Future”, an incentive for Brazilian scientific research and technological development, will issue an annual call for projects. The program values diversity, and grants will be awarded to scientists nationwide.

Starting with the 2023 edition, the initiative will partner with the Gustavo Fonseca Program for Young Leaders in Conservation, created by the Global Environment Facility.
