The applicant may request funds under any of the following categories as long as the costs are reasonable and necessary to perform research: personnel, fringe benefits, travel, equipment, supplies, contractual, construction, other, and indirect.

The amount of federal funds requested must be matched by the student's eligible institution by at least 30% of the total project cost. Cash or in-kind contributions directly benefiting the research project may be used to satisfy the matching requirements. Waived indirect costs may also be used as match. Funds from other federal agencies and reserve staff salaries supported by federal funds may not be used as match.

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.
