Capacity Building Programs: African Small Grants
Small research grants for African scientists engaged in global environmental change research. 


The International START Secretariat and the Pan African START Committee (PACOM), with funding from the United States National Science Foundation/ US Climate Change Science Program (NSF/USCCSP) continue this program of small research grants to be awarded to scientists based at African institutions for research projects related to global environmental change that address the following themes:  

  • Theme 1: Climate Variability & Climate Change
  • Theme 2: Impacts/Adaptations/Vulnerability to Climate Change
  • Theme 3: Land Use Change/Ecosystems/Biogeochemical Change/Biodiversity

To be eligible for a grant, the proposed project must fall within the research framework of START's sponsor, the Earth Systems Science Partnership and its programmes, the International Human Dimensions Programme (IHDP) the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP), the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) and DIVERSITAS.
