The Department of Zoology has received a donation from Dr Johanna Darlington, to be used at the discretion of the Trust Fund Managers to support research on any aspect of the biology of social insects.
Awards from the fund shall be available to those working within or in association with the Department of Zoology.
Awards from the fund will only be made to those at Postgraduate or Postdoctoral level.
Funding will not support core project work of a postgraduate student but could be used to support follow-on work or side projects in a distinct but promising area.
In making awards, the Managers shall give preference to those who intend to include fieldwork as part of their programme of research.
Please contact Ian Harrison (admin@zoo.cam.ac.uk) with enquiries about the fund.
The fund is currently closed for applications, it will reopen next year.

A copy of the application form including a brief outline of the studies to be carried out, describing the purpose for which the grant is required.
A short (max 2 page) CV.
A brief academic reference from someone familiar with the applicant and their general field of study.
