The Trans-Antarctic Association aims to promote, organize, encourage, or support scientific research or expeditions of discovery in the Antarctic. It was established from the profits of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1955-58), which completed the first crossing of Antarctica. The association supports activities directly related to Antarctica through the provision of financial grants for fieldwork, travel, equipment, and research.
The Trans-Antarctic Grants Program offers financial grants to support field work, travel to Antarctica, equipment purchases, and other research activities directly associated with the Antarctic region. Grants are typically capped at £1,500, with total funds available for distribution annually ranging between £10,000 and £15,000. A third of the funds are reserved for New Zealand nationals, with the remainder available to nationals from Australia, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. The allocation of grants is based on the merit of the application and the availability of funds, which vary with the performance of the Association's investments.
