Overview

The NBI Small Research Grants Program aims to enhance understanding of biodiversity on Nantucket and surrounding islands. By funding innovative research, particularly in climate change impacts and underrepresented species, the initiative fosters collaboration among conservationists and researchers. Grants up to $3,500 support essential projects that align with NBI's mission to preserve local ecosystems. Prioritizing new projects, this program invites submissions that advance biodiversity knowledge and community resilience in the face of environmental challenges.

The Nantucket Biodiversity Initiative (NBI) provides funding for research projects that expand knowledge of understudied taxonomic groups and the overall biodiversity of Nantucket, Tuckernuck, Muskeget and surrounding waters.
