The Global Raptor Research and Conservation Grant provides funding and support to local researchers working to address knowledge gaps and conservation needs for high-priority raptor species worldwide.

HawkWatch International established the Global Raptor Research and Conservation Grant to address the urgent need for research and conservation of the world’s most threatened and understudied raptor species, recognizing that over half of all raptor species face extinction threats and that resources for their protection are limited.

The grant supports projects that focus on high-priority raptor species, as determined by an updated Raptor Research and Conservation Priority Index (RCPI) and EDGE scores, with the aim of closing critical knowledge gaps and implementing effective conservation strategies.

Applicants may request up to $3,500 USD, and up to three projects may be funded each year; in addition to financial support, successful applicants receive scientific guidance, networking opportunities, and assistance in publicizing project results.

Eligible projects must focus on a single raptor species with an RCPI-EDGE score of 0.5 or higher, be led by a citizen or permanent resident of the country or region where the project will take place, and be associated with a registered NGO or university in that country.

Applications are not accepted for projects occurring in the USA, Canada, or Europe, for species with RCPI-EDGE below 0.5, for projects outside the applicant’s country of citizenship or residency, or for those unable to complete all outputs within 18 months of receiving the grant.
