Grants are to fund research, especially conservation related research, on species of storks, ibises, spoonbills and herons. The grants will not fund conservation action alone that is not part of a research program and will be awarded every year. To apply, a project must make a significant contribution to the understanding and conservation of wading birds. Research on rare, endangered and little known species or populations will be prioritized.
