Overview

The National Taxonomy Research Grants Program (NTRGP) 2025-26 grant opportunity provides grants for taxonomy and systematics research (herein referred to as taxonomy), training and recruitment of taxonomists. Grants will support projects with the primary aim of undertaking research into the taxonomy of the Australian biota. The ABRS has three Priority Areas for Research: Biodiversity, Conservation and Vulnerable and Endangered Species. Public, Plant, Animal and Environmental Health. Building Taxonomic Capacity. The objectives of the grant opportunity are: to support research into taxonomy to increase funding for taxonomy through enhanced co-funding opportunities. The intended outcomes of the grant opportunity are: to support and improve knowledge of the Australian biota through targeted taxonomic research grants aligned to the ABRS’s three Priority Areas for Research to build Australia’s taxonomic capacity by supporting tertiary research training, early career researchers and facilitating knowledge transfer to contribute to enhancing the ABRS information products and resources, including the Australian Faunal Directory, Flora of Australia, Australian National Species List, publications, identification keys and any other taxonomic communication tools to positively contribute to the fields of taxonomy and systematics.
