SMM Conservation Fund

About this program

The Society for Marine Mammalogy’s Conservation Fund supports high-priority research on the world’s most endangered marine mammal species, with the goal of catalyzing measurable conservation action. Funding is offered through biennial grant cycles, typically accepting applications in July before an SMM Biennial Conference, although available funds are currently modest. Eligibility, proposal requirements, and application procedures are detailed in the fund’s official Call for Proposals.
