Since 2001 the North American Native Fishes Association, NANFA, has funded the Conservation Research Grant, focusing on
supporting research relating to the conservation of North America's
indigenous fish fauna, particularly those that are threatened or
endangered. The Conservation Research Grant could be awarded to someone
in academia, a conservation group, or to an independent
researcher. The maximum award for any one proposal is budgeted at
$1000. The deadline for submission of an application is January 20th,
2015.
