International Foundation for Science
IFS, Sweden assists young scientists in agriculture, fisheries, forestry
etc to build careers in their own countries. In recent years there have
been no grantees from the Pacific and very few since the organisation
started in the mid 1970s.
Recently, IFS has sent a message to their research advisers throughout
the world and asked for ways of making the organisation known to
prospective applicants. They have agreed to have the notice distributed
on Pacific PestNet and other Networks.
Here is the IFS message:
THE INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR SCIENCE - CALL FOR RESEARCH GRANT
APPLICATIONS FROM DEVELOPING COUNTRY SCIENTISTS
The International Foundation for Science (IFS) provides support to young
scientists of merit in developing countries by awarding research grants
and providing grantees with additional services such as travel grants
and purchasing assistance.
Research grants are awarded up to a maximum value of USD 12,000 for a
period of one to three years and may be renewed twice. They are intended
for the purchase of equipment, expendable supplies, and literature.
Applicants must be citizens of, and carry out the research in, a
developing country. They should also work at a university or national
research institution in a developing country (countries in Europe,
including Turkey and Cyprus, or the former Soviet Union do not qualify
for support). As well as being under the age of 40 (under 30 for
applicants from China) and at the start of their research career,
candidates must possess a higher academic degree, which should be at
least an MSc or equivalent.
The IFS supports projects dealing with the management, use, and
conservation of biological resources. The Foundation organizes its
activities into six Research Areas, viz Animal Production, Aquatic
Resources, Crop Science, Food Science, Forestry/Agroforestry, and
Natural Products.
