There are three National Geographic Grant opportunities related to species discovery that will close January 15, 2020:

Biodiversity Exploration and Discovery projects will find and describe new species, and better understand the patterns of distribution and abundance of poorly known groups of organisms.

Citizen Science for Species Discovery aims to leverage the power of crowd-sourced citizen science data collection to help support the discovery of species, bridge biodiversity gaps, and accelerate biodiversity data collection, identification, and classification.

Artificial Intelligence for Species Discovery aims to leverage the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to support the discovery of new species, bridge biodiversity gaps, and accelerate biodiversity data collection, identification, and classification.
