The Micro-scale grants, or ‘microgrants’ program focuses on new eDNA research in strategic categories of interest while also increasing access outside of well-resourced and high-data environments. It is for researchers needing very specific equipment, materials, supplies, or training to achieve their objectives towards eDNA research and analyses.

Our Microgrant Program supports eDNA research in the form of materials, equipment, or educational learning. The primary purpose of these ~$1,000 USD micro grants is to provide funding to traditionally under-funded and under-resourced areas where one or two additional items are critical to the success of a project.
