Dear Administrator/Scholarship Officer



The Australian Biological Resources Study (ABRS) provides grants
to Australian institutions to support Honours, Masters and PhD students to
undertake taxonomic research.  The ABRS also provides research grants to
established researchers for taxonomic projects.



The 2016-17 round of the ABRS National Taxonomy Research Grants Program -
Research and Capacity-Building Grants streams is NOW OPEN for applications.



The ABRS provides online delivery of taxonomic and biological information
on taxa known to occur in Australia. Grants can be awarded to research
projects where the primary aim is to undertake taxonomic research on the
Australian biota or to develop products that aid in the dissemination of
taxonomic information.



The ABRS and the Council of Heads of Australasian Herbaria have partnered
with the Atlas of Living Australia to develop an online Australasian eFlora
platform to support collaborative and more flexible creation and delivery
of online floras. The ABRS is seeking to support projects that will assist
it to develop content, fill gaps and maintain the currency of the Flora of
Australia, consistent with its curation and delivery on the Australasian
eFlora platform.



The ABRS is also seeking to support projects that update and expand the
data held in the Australian Faunal Directory.



Please find attached a flier for the ABRS Grants containing details for
distribution amongst prospective applicants, early career and established
researchers.  We would be grateful if you could please place this on
Departmental notice boards and in institution newsletters.



All applications close on 2:00pm AEDT*[1]* <#14ef1e1978745786__ftn1> 28
October 2015



For more information, please don't hesitate to contact the ABRS or check

Australian Biological Resources Study (ABRS)
