Aspire Grant Program for Young Africans 2022

Applications are invited from suitably qualified young African graduate students and early career professionals working in the area of biodiversity, conservation, and environmental sustainability in the Congo Basin region for the Aspire Grant Program.

The Grant Program provides competitive research grants of up to USD 5,000 to the successful grant holders. The grant is sponsored by the Conservation Action Research Network (CARN), which supports and encourages young African scientists to conduct novel conservation research.

Details

CARN established the Aspire Grant Program in 2014 to support and encourage young African scientists to conduct novel conservation research and management activities that address the critical challenges facing wildlife, biodiversity and ecosystem health in the Congo Basin. Critically, these small grants can build the foundation for young African researchers to become independent, providing “bridge funding” that allows them to compete in larger international arenas. Most importantly, small research grants will encourage and provide a means for young Africans to remain engaged in their research and stay in their native countries to practice their trades.
