The Neotropical Grassland Conservancy (NGC) is currently accepting applications for its Research Equipment Program 2026. Interested applicants are encouraged to click here to learn more anout this opportunity and apply for it.
The Research Equipment Program provides basic science equipment to scientists and students in the American tropics to assist their research opportunities and education. Many outstanding researchers need essentials such as microscopes, GPS units, mist nets, video cameras, binoculars, and science textbooks. Equipment is either donated or purchased and sent to Latin America at relatively little expense. The intent of the program is that donated equipment and literature be of general use to a variety of projects, students and researchers.
