The UK Host Organisation (the Applicant):
  

‣ Defra Darwin Fellowship Programme Applications must be submitted by the UK Host Organisation or by the UK institution of the original Darwin project that the proposed Fellow is associated with.
‣ 
Eligible organisations or institutions must have expertise in the sustainable use or conservation of biodiversity, or in disciplines that are biodiversity-related or whose work has an impact on the implementation of the key biodiversity Conventions (CBD, CITES and CMS) or sustainable use and conservation of biodiversity. Applications are invited from both public and private sectors.

‣ The UK Host Organisation will provide experts from within their organisation with a proven track record and at the forefront of their discipline(s) to work closely with or supervise the Fellow. '
‣ This expertise is typically expected to be of at least postdoctoral quality or equivalent professional standard.
Selection Criteria:
‣ Defra Darwin Fellowship Programme applications will be assessed against the following criteria:


• Fellowships will draw on UK expertise in the field of biodiversity or convention implementation, of post-doctoral or equivalent professional level.
  
• 
Fellowships will result in the transfer of knowledge and/or technology relating to biodiversity between the UK and the Fellow’s country.

  
• Fellowships will be collaborative, involving the Darwin Fellow and the UK Host Organization in a dual partnership at all stages (including development of the proposal). Where relevant, the Fellow should demonstrate their own consultation and collaboration with local institutions or communities in the target country/ies.
  
• 
Fellowships will contribute, directly or indirectly, towards implementation of the CBD, and/or CITES and/or CMS.
  
• 
Where appropriate, Fellowship work will raise awareness of the potential worth of natural resources and encourage their sustainable use in order to directly or indirectly help eliminate poverty and develop sustainable livelihoods in those countries.

  
• Defra Darwin Fellowship Programme work will be of high quality and scientific (or other appropriate professional) excellence.

  
• Fellowships will leave a legacy, through a real and lasting impact on the Fellow’s capacity to help his/her country meet its obligations under the conventions. Fellows should demonstrate the expectation of related work after the Fellowship ends and demonstrate how the skills and knowledge they acquired during the Fellowship will be applied in their country to spread knowledge or expertise (e.g. through training others, practical application, or wider dissemination). Where relevant, a strategy should be developed during the term of the Fellowship for effective implementation of skills learnt during the training period.

  
• The outputs and outcomes from Fellowships should be additional, and will not cut across work being funded through other mainstream environmental or research programmes. Research projects, in particular, must tackle work in an area of biodiversity that has previously been neglected or undervalued.

  
• Defra Darwin Fellowship Programme work should be, wherever possible, innovative and distinctive.
  
• It should show a new approach to a problem or issue and not cover old ground – although tested methodology may be used for a new area or issue. To ensure Fellowship work is distinctive, applications should identify how any outputs will be badged and in what ways the Department’s name and the Darwin name and logo would be used to help raise the Darwin profile.
  
• Defra Darwin Fellowship Programme will demonstrate good value for money. Both actual results from the Fellowship work, as well as the benefits of the Fellowship to the Fellow and their country’s capacity to meet the objectives of CBD, CITES or CMS, will be taken into account.
