Our Keystone Grants are dedicated to supporting all marine scientists, conservationists and educators with innovative projects that target a clearly defined question or are working on conservation issues pertaining to sharks, rays, skates and chimaeras.

The funding cycle is biennial, with the grant application window opening in even years (2022, 2024, 2026, etc.), and the grant covering the period from March 2025 to June 2026, for example. Funds are allocated on an annual basis, with the option to apply for continued funding every year. The usual project duration is limited to three years. Grants average 25,000 USD per annum.
