With the generous support of our donors, we have allocated over £91,000 of funding this year to support 32 field research projects.
An increased number of projects will be studying geographical issues in the UK, including investigating the geography of antibiotic- and vaccine-related attitudes. Further afield, projects are planned to take place in 23 countries spanning five continents. Topics range from studying the implications of glacier recession for mass movement processes and hazards in Chile to the evolution of informal water markets in East Africa.
The Society is continuing to commit funding for researchers who plan to go into the field when it is safe and responsible for them to do so. We continue to uphold the highest health and safety and ethics protocols for the research projects we (or any of the organisations we work with) support.
Application deadlines for the 2022 grants programme begin in November 2021.
