International Foundation for Science
IFS, Sweden assists young scientists in agriculture, fisheries, forestry

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

period of one to three years and may be renewed twice. They are intended
for the purchase of equipment, expendable supplies, and literature.

developing country. They should also work at a university or national
research institution in a developing country (countries in Europe,

applicants from China) and at the start of their research career,
candidates must possess a higher academic degree, which should be at
