“This experience, these K2A grants, really have been very, very eye opening and transformative. Not only in terms of research, but it has also in my own life” – Jenia Mukherjee, Small Grant Winner.
“This grant is trust based, which allows for a multi-disciplinary group of people to come together. You don’t really see that in a typical wildlife or conservation grant where you’re just a group of scientists who are working in different capacities. I think that’s the strength of the grant” – Nandini Velho, Small Grant Winner.
