Grants for Apiology Research, The Eva Crane Trust

The Trust is international in outlook and does not discriminate against any bee species.  

Grants can be made to individuals and organizations that might otherwise find funding difficult in this specialized field.

The principle objectives of the Trust when considering an application are as follows:

• That research projects will benefit and/or improve an understanding of bees. In the case of scientific projects, that they will support the dissemination of findings in peer-reviewed research and/or academic publications.
• That outcomes are widely disseminated in order to improve apicultural practice internationally.
• In the case of historical and/or archaeological projects, that the gathering of new information, the further expansion of existing knowledge and the dissemination of this material reaches the widest possible range of interest groups including those beyond the normal scope of the bee world.
• There must always be a strong intellectual and/or strategic rationale for the particular project for which the Trust’s help is sought.

Based upon these Objectives the Trust has supported:

• Academic conferences on bee-related scientific and historical research.
• In some cases, travel and publication costs related to any of the above.
• Graduate and post-graduate projects but not school-based projects or those targeted at a younger audience.
