Stuart Leslie Bird Research Award - Applications now open

Applications for the Birds ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ are now open. The Award was established in 1997 by Mr Stuart Leslie, AM, who was one of Birds ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥'s long-time major donors and a keen bird watcher. Aware of the crucial importance of ongoing ornithological research and the financial challenges facing ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥n students, Mr Leslie generously committed to giving $15,000 per year to support post-graduate field work and travel to scientific conferences.

Applications in the following areas are encouraged to apply:

  • Field work on the behaviour and ecology of native ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥n birds;

  • Conservation biology of threatened native birds and management of their habitats;

  • Travel to conferences within ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ by postgraduate students to deliver a presentation or contribute a paper or poster related to ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥n birds.


Research must relate to ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥n native birds.

The closing date for applications is March 31, 2012. The ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥'s internal closing date is 26th March 2012. All ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide members, please notify the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide Research Branch in advance if you intend on applying for this funding opportunity.
