Survey Grants
INPS will also continue its second grant in 2025: the Survey Grant. This grant for up to $5000 will fund searches for Illinois Endangered, Threatened, or several rare plant species of conservation concern for which current data is inadequate to assess their status and for which field surveys and recovery recommendations are needed. A priority list of species to be surveyed is based on sources, including the Endangered Species Protection Board 2024 Listing Process recommendations and the Illinois Natural History Survey’s Recommendations to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. Experienced botanical field surveyors, either independent or associated with an institution, are invited to apply for this grant. Partnerships are encouraged. Full grant application details and forms will be posted online by early December. Check our website at https://illinoisplants.org/grants/.
Survey Grant Applications are due by February 1, 2025. Awards will be announced on
April 1, 2025.
