Others
The National Geographic Society awards grants for research, conservation, education, and storytelling through its Committee for Research and Exploration. All proposed projects must be novel and exploratory, and be of broad interest. National Geographic Society grant-funded projects should be bold, innovative, and transformative.
National Geographic welcomes applications from around the world, and specifically encourages applicants from outside the United States to apply. Applicants planning to work outside of their home country should include at least one local collaborator on their team. The Committee will not usually consider applications that support strictly laboratory or collections work. Grants are awarded on the basis of merit and exist independent of the Society's other divisions.
In 2017, the National Geographic Grants Committee will meet four times: January, April, August, and November. Please observe these deadlines for submitting your Standard Grant application:
Deadline of April 1, 2017, for decision by August 21, 2017 Deadline of July 1, 2017, for decision by November 30, 2017

Our Three Lenses
The Human Journey:The Human Journey supports projects that explore and document the human experience through time to preserve and celebrate our shared heritage. The Human Journey funds impact-oriented projects within the fields of anthropology, archaeology, paleoanthropology, psychology, human health, and human geography. We are particularly interested in the themes of human migration (i.e., the causes and effects of human population movement), human adaptation (i.e., how societies adjust to and mitigate environmental changes), and human diversity (i.e., the cultural, linguistic, and genetic diversity of our species). We are also interested in supporting innovations in technology, education, mapping, and storytelling related to these themes, particularly data visualization, high-tech approaches, cultural heritage preservation, educational outreach, and curricula development. Please note, however, that we do not provide financial support for the reconstruction or restoration of archaeological sites or for architectural conservation.
Wildlife and Wild Places: Wildlife and Wild Places supports projects that explore and document the Earth’s biodiversity to better understand and conserve species, habitats, processes, and ecosystems (marine and terrestrial). Wildlife and Wild Places funds impact-oriented projects within the fields of biology, ecology, and conservation. We are particularly interested in the themes of biodiversity in human-altered environments (including human-wildlife conflict and mitigation, urban ecology, zoonotic diseases), the effects of climate change on biodiversity (including science- and policy-oriented solutions), the exploitation of natural resources (including bushmeat, legal but unsustainable harvesting, wildlife crime), landscape connectivity and habitat corridors (including animal migrations), and the science of restoration (i.e., ecosystem restoration at all scales). We are also interested in supporting innovations in technology, education, mapping, and storytelling related to these themes, particularly data visualization, high-tech approaches, educational outreach, and curricula development.
Our Changing Planet: Our Changing Planet supports projects that explore and document Earth and ocean systems in the present, past, and future to better understand and protect the evolving environment. Our Changing Planet funds impact-oriented projects within the fields of geology, geochemistry, physical geography, marine ecology, oceanography, paleontology, and observational astronomy. We are particularly interested in the themes of ocean research and conservation (including reef processes, marine ecology and management, and sea-level change), disasters associated with natural hazards (including volcanoes, earthquakes, and landslides), environmental change (including records of past climates, glacial retreat, pollution, and remediation), and the history of our planet (including plate tectonics, paleobotany, mass-extinction events, and planetary analog science). We are also interested in supporting innovations in technology, education, mapping, and storytelling related to these themes, particularly data visualization, high-tech approaches, educational outreach, and curricula development For more information visit the link below:
