One of the main goals of the Cycad Society is to support cycad research, conservation, and education. One of the primary ways in which we do this is through our annual grant cycle. Each year, proposals are accepted by the Research, Conservation and Grants Committee chair until the end of March and are reviewed by the committee and voted on by the board of directors at the annual board meeting. Grants typically range from $500-$2,500 and are usually for single-year projects. Grantees are required to write an article for the Cycad Newsletter, as well as a final report summarizing the primary results of the study and detailing how TCS funds were used during the course of the study. The TCS grant guidelines were updated in April 2007, and the revised version is available in PDF format by clicking the link below:
