ANZIC is offering one-off Honours or Postgraduate grants of up to $10,000 each to support ongoing work as a part of, or in addition, to your thesis.

By supporting Honours and Postgraduates in their pursuit of geoscientific inquiries, this top-up grant aims to help cultivate expertise vital for addressing pressing global challenges, from climate change to natural resource management (to name just two), through rigorous scientific exploration of the world’s oceans.

What we will fund

The grant will provide financial support to cover expenses directly related to the thesis, such as fieldwork, laboratory analyses, equipment and travel.
Conference and workshop support is also allowed.

Eligibility

• You must be enrolled in a Honours, Masters or PhD program in an Australian ANZIC member institute for the duration of the project.
• Your thesis, or research chapter, is related to the marine geosciences. Projects with interdisciplinary approaches, such as integrating geoscience with oceanography, biology, environmental studies, or computer sciences are also encouraged.

Grant awardees must complete a final report summarising the research findings and outcomes upon completion of the project. This report will be used in the ANZIC Bulletin and Annual Report.
