Assignment brief
The grant application follows the format of the Rufford Small Grants and needs to address the questions in the section "Current application questions for Rufford Small Grants". We will provide an amended version of this as a template. This assessment builds on the module material relating to the conservation of biodiversity. Using a project and case study of your choice you need to demonstrate and critically assess the background to this project, what a project would do (activities), the methods, conservation benefits, who will be involved and the funding you need.
- Two relevant successful grant proposals on marine conservation & climate education. Remember these are for a larger amount of money, therefore are more ambitious and give more detail.
- A successful Rufford 1st Grant application from 2014 - the structure has changed but it gives a good idea of what is expected.
