The Alberta Conservation Association (ACA) is dedicated to conserving, protecting, and enhancing Alberta’s fish, wildlife, and habitat. By mobilizing community and stakeholder efforts, they aim to support sustainable environmental stewardship across the province.
The ACA Grants in Biodiversity program targets graduate student research with objectives to increase knowledge of Alberta’s natural heritage, promote the development of conservation biologists within Alberta, and support Alberta-based research by graduate students. The program covers research in biodiversity, conservation biology, ecology, and related social sciences with a focus on Alberta's flora, fauna, and habitat. Annually, the program allocates up to $225,000, providing grants up to $20,000 over two years to selected projects. Research should enhance understanding of Alberta's natural environment at any biological level, but must be directly related to real-world issues, including human-induced environmental changes. Geographic focus is exclusively on Alberta, encouraging efficient budgeting and favoring projects with lower budget requests.
