Applicants for any of the ABS-sponsored research grants may apply via a single application process. Application materials should be submitted through the ABS website, which is scheduled to open after Monday, 27 November, 2006. Information regarding the submission of special files (e.g., figures) is available on that site, as well as information about the requirements for a letter of support should the proposal be short-listed.

Individuals unable to submit their applications through the website should contact ABS Senior MAL, Chris Evans, Animal Behavior Laboratory, Department of Psychology, Macquarie University, Sydney NSW 2109, Australia, Phone: +61 (0)2 9850-9230. Use the Contact link (upper right) to contact Chris via e-mail. Note that Chris is in Australia so make note of the date/time difference.

Applicants may receive only one of these grants in any given year. Individuals who have previously received an ABS Student Research Grant are ineligible to receive additional ABS Student Research Grant, but may apply for the Cetacean Behavior & Conservation or Developing Nation Research Grants.
