• By submitting an application, and if funded, the proponents declare that all permits required to carry out the proposed project will be obtained as necessary, and that no work on the project will be commenced without the required permits.
• Further, the proponents declare that they and their project collaborators will not collect, obtain, or distribute any turtles or other wildlife, whether live animals, parts or derivatives, for possession, transport, export, import, or sale, in breach of applicable laws and regulations, during any phase of the supported project.
The proposal itself must be no longer than 12 pages long (shorter is better) and c.v.’s must be no longer than 3 pages per individual. All type must be of good readable size, no smaller than 12-point font.
The TCF provides grants in support of direct research and conservation expenses of selected turtle projects and programs. TCF does not provide support for indirect organizational overhead expenses associated with administration of grants, and will not fund requests for such indirect costs.
