About Organisation

The Eva Crane Trust, founded by Dr. Eva Crane, is dedicated to advancing global research in bee science and beekeeping. The Trust focuses on fostering innovative projects that expand knowledge in apiology, beekeeping practices, and the historical significance of bees. It encourages collaboration and aims to improve understanding in these areas for the benefit of science and the public. With an international outlook, the Trust supports research and projects that contribute to a deeper understanding of bees, from scientific studies to historical research, and promotes the dissemination of findings to wider audiences.

About the Grant

The Eva Crane Trust offers grants to support research and projects related to bees. The grants are intended for innovative and original projects in areas such as bee science, citizen science, historical research, and events. The Trust’s funding primarily focuses on projects that contribute to improving knowledge of bees and their ecological importance. It is particularly interested in projects that might otherwise face difficulty in obtaining funding. The grants aim to support the dissemination of findings through publications or public engagement and are especially beneficial to early-stage research and students in the field.

Who can Apply?

The Eva Crane Trust accepts applications from individuals and organizations involved in bee-related research, including scientific, historical, and citizen science projects. Applicants must demonstrate a strong intellectual rationale for their projects, with a focus on innovative and impactful outcomes. Eligible applicants include researchers, students, and organizations working on projects that benefit the understanding of bees, with preference given to those that involve public outreach or collaboration. The Trust particularly encourages students who have received fellowships elsewhere and aims to support projects that could not progress without external funding. The Trust does not fund basic beekeeping enterprises or retrospective projects.
