Description

The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry is now accepting applications for the 2018-2019 Species at Risk Research Fund for Ontario (SARRFO). 

 
The SARRFO is a targeted component of the larger Species at Risk Stewardship Fund (SARSF) Program. SARRFO supports the protection and recovery of species at risk by funding high quality scientific research that addresses key threats and knowledge gaps, and informs the protection, recovery and management of species at risk in Ontario.
 
Funding priorities have been identified for the 2018-19 funding year and are outlined within the guidelines. It is estimated that 2018-19 funding levels will allow the Ministry to support approximately 10-15 of the highest priority research projects.
 
All applicants are to carefully read the attached SARRFO Guidelines before completing and submitting an application. All application requirements are outlined in the Guidelines.

Funding Availability

Accepting funding requests for research projects extending over one or two years, to a maximum of $30,000 per year per project.
