Graduate Fellowships in Reef Ecosystems Grant

The Graduate Fellowships in Reef Ecosystems aim to support post-graduate research on coral reefs by providing funding for fieldwork or laboratory visits. Each fellowship awards up to $2,500 to facilitate research that contributes to a thesis for degrees like PhD, MPhil, or MSc. Typically, six awards are given annually, with two reserved for students from developing countries, fostering international collaboration and research advancement in marine ecosystems.

Description: Grants to assist post-graduate research students in the costs of fieldwork or visiting laboratories, for research on coral reefs.
These Fellowships provide funding of up to $2,500 per award that may be used for travel, accommodation away from home, fieldwork, and/or laboratory analyses to be undertaken elsewhere, related to research the results of which are to be included within a degree thesis.
In addition to providing funding, ICRS will assist the successful candidates in liaising with other members who may be in a position to assist their research, while in turn the holders are required to prepare reports on their progress for publication in Reef Encounter and on the society’s website.
