About Organisation
The Jana Robeyst Trust Fund is a charitable initiative dedicated to supporting early career biologists and conservationists working to protect endangered mammals. The Trust focuses on enabling practical, field-based research that contributes directly to wildlife conservation, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. By offering small but targeted financial support, the Fund helps emerging researchers generate valuable data, strengthen conservation practices, and build professional capacity. Its mission is rooted in advancing applied conservation science and supporting the next generation of conservation professionals working in challenging, resource-limited environments.
About the Grant
The Jana Robeyst Trust Fund Grant provides small grants to support field research and applied conservation projects focused on endangered mammal species in Sub-Saharan Africa. The grant is designed to assist early career professionals in carrying out impactful projects that generate practical conservation outcomes. Funding can be used for field activities, essential equipment, and limited travel related to conferences, workshops, or training. Both pilot and ongoing projects are eligible, provided they demonstrate clear research value and direct relevance to the conservation of threatened mammal populations.
Who can Apply?
The grant is open to early career biologists and conservationists from anywhere in the world. Applicants must be conducting research or conservation work in a Sub-Saharan African country and focus specifically on endangered mammal species. Projects demonstrating applied conservation value and tangible benefits for threatened populations are prioritised. Both first-time applicants and previous recipients may apply, though reapplications are only permitted after a minimum gap of 12 months from the previous submission or award.
How to Apply?
Applicants should first confirm their eligibility and develop a clear project proposal outlining objectives, target species, methodology, expected conservation outcomes, and budget. The application must include details of field activities, equipment needs, and any proposed travel. Successful applicants are required to implement the project as approved and submit a final report detailing outcomes, impact, and use of funds.
Application Deadline
Applications for the Jana Robeyst Trust Fund Grant are currently open and must be submitted within the announced application window to be considered for funding.
