ERG – EAVP Research Grants

EAVP RESEARCH GRANTS 2026
The EAVP offers small grants to fund in part or in total a vertebrate palaeontological research project of any kind. This can include excavation, collection visits, and conference attendance (other than the EAVP annual meeting, for which there is the EAVP Annual Meeting Grant) but it cannot be used only for publication fees.

Eligibility: the applicant must be an EAVP member for two years (either preceding, or paid in advance for subsequent years).

The Decision will be made before 29 June 2026 by a panel normally consisting of the President and Treasurer together with a third Board Member (to be decided according to the nature of the application), unless a conflict of interests arises. Awardees will be announced during the General Assembly.

For 2026, one ERG grant will be awarded. In recognition of the current prevailing circumstances, a special additional ERG will be offered, ringfenced for any Ukrainian palaeontologist that can take advantage of it.

SUBSEQUENT REQUIREMENTS
The successful candidates will submit a one page A4 report 1 year after receipt of the grant. It is also expected that they will present on the research at the following EAVP meeting. Any resulting publications should acknowledge the financial support of the EAVP for the work. Although not compulsory, the successful candidate may also wish to consider submitting a manuscript resulting from the research for consideration by PalaeoVertebrata

DEADLINE: Sunday 21 June 2026, noon (Berlin time)
