We support research projects that produce rigorous, relevant, and impactful science, address global change, and actively involve citizen-scientist participants. We distribute requests for proposals (RFPs) annually. We evaluate proposals based on scientific merit, appropriateness of citizen-scientist activities, expected project outcomes and impacts, safety, and logistics.<\/p>\n

Earthwatch funding is intended to be supplemental to other sources of funding. Annual budgets for projects with long-duration teams range between US $20,000\u2013$80,000, with most of that covering volunteer and staff expenses while in the field. Final grants are provided on a per-capita basis based on the number of participants<\/a>. Research projects<\/a> are tenable for three years, subject to annual performance review, and may be eligible for renewal beyond that period. We pride ourselves on our capacity for long-term support of research projects<\/a>, averaging between 10\u201311 years of support across the projects available for public recruitment.<\/p>\n

Earthwatch takes the safety of all people involved in projects we support<\/a> very seriously. Therefore, we are unable to support research<\/a> projects in certain regions of the world due to safety concerns, with no exceptions. Please review our current\u00a0Earthwatch \u201cNo Go\u201d List<\/a>\u00a0prior to applying for funding.<\/p>\n
