Tropical Conservation & Development Program
UF Center for Latin American Studies
TCD Working Group Grants are designed to catalyze an interdisciplinary group of students and faculty to meet over the course of a semester or two semesters to address themes that involve the interface between conservation and development, or new connections between disciplines or approaches that have not been or have only been minimally explored.
Competitive proposals will be those that show evidence of having been initiated as a result of student interest and creativity, although we encourage involvement of faculty in these working groups. Working groups should identify 1–2 faculty sponsors. The successful working group will identify a “product(s)” (e.g., synthetic paper or review, conference talks, seminar series, workshop, grant proposal, database or web site, software or other tools, etc.) that will result from this interdisciplinary effort. Already active working groups are especially encouraged to apply for a TCD Working Group Grant.
