GCBC Grant Call: Third Research Grant Competition (RGC3) (Call Closed)

The GCBC has announced the call for its third Research Grant Competition. Deadline for concept note application: 16 March 2025.

From 3 February 2025,  concept note proposals for projects that address either of the two themes set out below will be accepted. Successful applicants from this first round will then be invited to submit full proposals.

Applicants will be invited to submit proposals for projects that address either theme. All proposals need to address poverty alleviation and climate resilience, focusing on approaches that better value, protect, restore and sustainably manage biodiversity.

The focal themes are:

  • Theme 1: Using biodiversity to improve the climate resilience of agricultural, food and bioeconomy value chains

  • Theme 2: Biodiversity hotspots in Small Island Developing States (SIDS)

Across these themes, the GCBC plans to support projects that involve developing innovative nature-based solutions and using systems approaches to explore opportunities for large-scale transformative change.
