The joint fund of the Linnean Society of London (https://www.linnean.org/) and the Systematics Association (https://systass.org), the LinnéSys: Systematics Research Fund provides grants annually in the value of up to £1,500 for small-scale research and education projects in the field of taxonomy and systematics on any organism group from microscopic to macroscopic past and present.
It is eligible to request funding towards fieldwork expenditure, laboratory consumables, purchase of scientific equipment, time on analytical equipment and services for preparation of specimens, and cover of sequencing costs. It is possible to request funding towards publication of books, monographs and field guides.
Projects involving education, training courses or citizen science activities are eligible if they focus on taxonomy and systematics. Applications for education activities or training courses must include the target audience/s, approximate number of participants and anticipated learning outputs. Citizen science applications must describe how the project team will be working together and/or co-design with the public, as well as listing the desired outcomes.
An applicant must be a current member of the Systematics Association or Linnean Society of London. More information on guidelines provided here: https://systass.org/4112-2/
