Grant Overview
Alberta's unique position as a landlocked province with significant waterways creates distinct challenges for preventing the spread of aquatic invasive species. Unlike neighboring provinces with more developed aquatic invasive species prevention programs, Alberta's efforts must be tailored to the province's specific waterways and ecosystems. Who Qualifies for Funding in Alberta? Applicants must demonstrate expertise in aquatic invasive species prevention and control, with a focus on research, education, and policy development. Eligible applicants include students, early-career researchers, and retired professionals engaged in academic or scientific work. Applicants must also demonstrate partnerships with local communities and government agencies to ensure research is relevant to provincial needs. Application Requirements in Alberta Applicants must submit a detailed research proposal, including a budget and timeline, and demonstrate capacity for conducting fieldwork in Alberta's waterways. Applications will be evaluated based on their potential to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species and protect native ecosystems. With 85% of Alberta's waterways considered high-risk for aquatic invasive species, applicants must demonstrate a clear understanding of the province's specific challenges.
