2026 Grants Program

Are you studying at an Australian university and looking for funding opportunities for your research project?

The Conservation and Wildlife Research Trust is offering a limited number of research grants up to $10,000 per year to help Australian university students undertake research.

Do you have a research project that investigates:

  • Population monitoring, modelling and harvest assessment of game species.
  • Research into harvest quotas, season setting, or size/age limits.
  • Habitat management or restoration activities supporting sustainable game populations.
  • Application of technologies for wildlife monitoring (e.g. GIS, drones, remote sensing).
  • Human–wildlife conflict management relevant to game species.
  • Socioeconomic, policy and governance research related to wildlife utilisation, including Indigenous and community-based approaches.
  • Development of best practice standards for animal welfare in harvesting and utilisation.

If you do have a research project that you believe fits the above criteria, we suggest that you apply.
