The Hermon Slade Foundation Project Grants

Supports Australian universities and other appropriate institutions to conduct activities aimed at environmental conservation, biodiversity preservation, and reducing pollution.

The Hermon Slade Foundation supports activities that aim to improve systems of managing land, water, plants and animals in ways which will enhance the productivity and quality of food, fisheries, plants and forests, while simultaneously conserving the natural environment, preserving biodiversity, avoiding pollution of soils and water, and enhancing human welfare.

The Foundation typically provides project grants up to A$30,000 (ex GST) per year for up to three years. Grants are awarded to Australian institutions for activities within Australia. Occasionally activities located in countries of the south west Pacific may also be funded.

The project should form an identifiable element of work that would not be undertaken without the support of the Foundation.

The project must be undertaken within Australia or countries of the south-west Pacific region, under the umbrella of an Australian university or other appropriate Australian institution.

The project is in the biological or biophysical sciences or has application in those areas, as exemplified in projects described on this web site, and is not medical research.

Projects that aim to improve systems of managing land, water, plants and animals in ways that will enhance the productivity and quality of food, fisheries, plants and forests, while simultaneously conserving the natural environment, preserving biodiversity, avoiding pollution of soils and water, and enhancing human welfare are particularly favoured.
