AW Howard Memorial Trust Inc
2011/2012
The AW Howard Memorial Trust Inc was established in 1964 by the Australian Institute of Agricultural Science to recognise the unique contribution made by the late Amos Howard in the use of subterranean clover as a pasture plant in Australia.
The aims of the Trust are to 'encourage and promote research and investigation in the fields of natural science and social science, including economics which relate to the development, management and use of pastures'.
The AW Howard Memorial Trust Inc awards on merit and need Grants-in-Aid to Australian organisations, associations, communities or persons that seek financial aid for projects designed to either:
- Commemorate significant contributions made to pastoral sciences or pastoral industries at National, State or Regional scales;
- Facilitate effective dissemination and publication of innovative science and extension relevant to the development, management and use of pastures within Australia or within Australian regions;
- Invite an eminent overseas pasture scientist to visit Australia to deliver a keynote address at an Australian, International or Regional conference and/ or to visit major regional centres to interact with scientists and community groups involved in pastoral industries; or
- Contribute towards the purchase of essential equipment required for research and development projects in the field of pastoral sciences.
Grants-in-Aid are limited to $A 5000.
At the conclusion of the tenure of the Award, the recipient shall present to the Trust a report summarising significant outcomes achieved from the Grant-in-Aid, with identification of how the AW Howard Trust has been acknowledged. This report will be published in Agricultural Science, the Journal of the Australian Institute of Agricultural Science and Technology.
