To assist outstanding graduate students and others in undertaking research in malacology.
[for non conference years]
Malacology
Up to $2,500 will be available annually and it can be granted as one or more awards.
Grants will normally be made to assist with costs associated with field trip or research consumables required for the project.
Any project which plans to increase knowledge of Australasian molluscs will be eligible, but preference will be given to projects seeking to resolve problems in molluscan taxonomy or whole animal biology. Projects of a broad physiological or ecological nature in which molluscs are ancillary to the main aim of the project will be given low priority.
Successful applicants will be required to provide a popular article for the Society’s newsletter within 12 months of receiving the grant.

There are no restrictions on who may apply, but the committee granting the awards will generally give preference to candidates who are not employed as professional malacologists.
