Each year the CBA provides support for a number of small group meetings and interim analyses that aim to generate:
  • High impact syntheses and reviews of existing data or concepts; and/or
  • Collaborative grant proposals; and/or
  • Policy/management outcomes via knowledge exchange between biodiversity scientists and policy makers/managers.
 

Eligibility

CBA Synthesis Groups (SG) will need to:

DiversityScanner projects

Grant

Expressions of Interest for Technology Use Trials

Honours awards

Grant

The CBA can help facilitate ANU and UC students spending time in CSIRO labs, providing valuable exposure to CSIRO scientists and research. Co-supervised honours projects also afford an excellent opportunity to develop collaborative linkages between CSIRO staff and university researchers.

The CBA may provide up to $15,000 for operational expenses and stipends for a honours student enrolled at ANU or University of Canberra with a CSIRO co-supervisor. 

Training support

Grant

One of the major objectives of the CBA is to build capacity through training of postdoctoral and postgraduate researchers.

We want to hear from you!

The CBA welcomes input from Early Career Researchers and PhD students regarding the types of training activities you need to address your specific research requirements and interests. 

Visiting scientist support

Grant

The aim of this funding is to enhance collaboration and training opportunities by supporting external researchers to visit ANU, CSIRO and/or the University of Canberra.

 

Eligibility

Proposed visitors should be nominated by a lab leader(s)/research groups from at least one (or preferably more) CBA partner institutions, ie. ANU, CSIRO, UC, and plan to collaborate with researchers from these institution(s) during their time in Canberra (or other CSIRO sites).
