All Grants must be used in connection with initiating and making significant progress towards completing the Eco-Program as set forth in its proposal. Student Grant recipients may be required to provide written or oral status reports, including budget reports and receipts to Program Sponsor to evidence appropriate use of the Grant. Student Grant recipients may additionally be asked to capture and document their work once monthly using video and or camera images and to provide these images to the Program Sponsor and/or Program Administrator upon request.

Amounts will depend on travel costs, but will ordinarily be in the range of several hundred dollars up to about $5,000. Grants are payable to the individual applicant.

It is recommended that grant recipients discuss their reporting obligations with their tax advisors.

Applicant must have been a member of AAG for one year prior to application deadline.

Applicants are advised that, other than in exceptional cases, awards will only be given to projects that meet all the following three criteria:

• projects with a total budget small enough for the NBC award to be a significant proportion of that total. The maximum amount that can be requested is US$1,500 and projects are typically awarded US$1,000-1,200;

• projects that are likely to achieve constructive local engagement in some form, such as environmental education in local communities, working with local decision-making or land-management organisations, or local/international publicity.

• projects that are likely to achieve high global conservation benefit. This means that the project must target either globally threatened species or globally important sites, as defined below, in order to be eligible for funding, unless there is an exceptional reason to waive this rule (e.g. species new to science). It is essential that your project makes a direct contribution to species or site conservation, or as a minimum is developed in close collaboration with a conservation agency or organisation. We do not fund projects that lack a strong conservation focus, e.g. pure avian biology research. Environmental education projects that encourage the conservation of threatened species or globally important sites are eligible.

As a condition of the award, the applicant's home university will be required (consistent with its policies and regulations) to provide or to waive normal academic year tuition payments or to provide alternative cost-sharing support.

Applications should be for work on Eastern Europe: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Kosovo/a, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, and Slovenia. Applicants may propose comparative work considering more than one country of Eastern Europe or relating East European societies of those of other parts of the world.
