POST-GRADUATE RESEARCH GRANT 2008

The Foundation for Rabbit-Free Australia was established in 1990 to support rabbit research and to promote community awareness of the rabbit problem. Through RFA, concerned people can donate money directly to research. The Foundation has funded some small regional projects and also seeks to broker larger research opportunities.

The Foundation invites grant applications from students in agricultural science, natural resource management, agricultural economics or social science who are currently enrolled in approved Masters or Doctorate degrees with research that relates to the management and control of feral rabbits or to the species or ecosystems that are affected by feral rabbits.

Grants will be awarded on a competitive basis and may provide up to $5000 to support:

• overseas travel for a study tour; OR
• attending and presenting research results at a relevant international or national conference; OR
• a visit by an eminent overseas scientist, working on rabbits or in a related field, to Australia to mentor the student and address Australian and/or regional conferences; OR
• the purchase of essential equipment required for the post-graduate, rabbit-related research and development project.

The Grant is open to Australian citizens or students that have been continuously resident in Australia for two years immediately preceding the closing date for applications. Applicants must be currently enrolled Masters or PhD students.
