Applications Invited for Holohil Grant Program
Organization: Holohil Systems
Apply By: 15 Jul 2023
Grant Amount: 2500 CAD
About the Organization
Holohil Systems has spent over 35 years redefining the standard for wildlife tracking and telemetry. We know well that the wildlife research community requires consistently reliable equipment that produces precise data. We also know that wildlife researchers are not necessarily experts on VHF transmitters and related tracking equipment. That is why we pride ourselves on providing responsive, comprehensive assistance to the scientists who use our equipment. We make sure their questions and concerns are addressed immediately and we will develop custom solutions where needed.
It is also why we put every piece of equipment we produce through a rigorous quality control process and guarantee that we will repair or replace any transmitter that malfunctions or operates at less than peak performance.
We are proud that we can assist the crucial work of wildlife scientists and it is a responsibility we take seriously.
About the Grant
For more than 35 years Holohil has supported endangered species research and educational work for a variety of agencies and researchers. During that time, we have donated transmitters predominately for bat and raptor research. While we still have a strong commitment to these groups of animals, we wish to extend our support to other species that have not previously been included. To this end, we are extending our support to research projects that are of high value for their species, have a sound research design, and have a positive conservation intention. In 2016, we introduced our new Holohil Grant Program (HGP), which aims to offer Holohil transmitters at a reduced (or no) cost to projects deserving of support.
Since its inception, the HGP has awarded more than $65,000.00 in transmitters to projects around the globe.
We are now accepting used units that we can refurbish and donate to MORE worthwhile projects! So, if you have some old transmitters lying around, and no plans to use them in the future, please consider donating them to us so we can provide transmitters to additional studies and researchers!
Holohil Grant Program would like to support projects that generally meet the following criteria:
- The project makes significant use of Holohil transmitters for data collection.
- The project aims to advance scientific knowledge.
- The project contributes to conservation.
- The project engages/educates the public.
- The project involves underrepresented study species of high research or conservation value.
Applications submitted to the Holohil Grant Program will be judged for suitability by outside (impartial), skilled researchers and experienced professionals invited to participate as HGP Review Committee Members. Submissions will be accepted from all parts of the globe and support will be awarded four times a year.
Each quarter, Holohil will be supporting projects by donating up to CAD$2,500.00 toward the purchase of Holohil transmitters. We will also pay all shipping charges (Note: importation duties and taxes are the receiver’s responsibility). The Holohil Grant Program is available to conservation professionals and researchers from anywhere in the world.
All we ask in return is a short (approx. one-page) report/update with photos of your work using our transmitters which we can post on the Holohil Grant Recipients page. It’s that simple!
