IPS Conservation Grants

The IPS Conservation Grants provide funding of up to $1,500 for developing primate conservation programs and applied research. An additional $500 is available for projects incorporating community involvement. The grants are strictly for conservation-related projects, excluding basic research or education. Applications from scientists of all nationalities are encouraged, especially those from primate range-state countries. Feedback on proposals is available if submitted by February 1st, with final submissions due by March 1st.

NOTE: We also offer on a case-by-case basis feedback on proposals from nationals of primate range-state countries. For this purpose, applications must be submitted by the 1st February for feedback; revised submissions must be resubmitted by the March 1st deadline.
The Conservation Committee of IPS is soliciting applications of up to $1,500 to support the development of primate conservation field programs and/or applied research with impact on primate conservation. If you plan to include community conservation in your program, you may be eligible for an additional Conservation through Community Involvement (CCI) award of $500.
The funds can be used for research supplies, field equipment, field assistant salaries,
travel expenses, research fees, etc.  The conservation funds are ONLY for conservation projects. If your project is not
related to conservation, you should consider applying for the IPS research grant instead.
The International Primatological Society was created to encourage all areas of non-human primatological scientific research, to facilitate cooperation among scientists of all nationalities engaged in primate research, and to promote the conservation of all primate species.
