Tiny Beam Fund offers fellowships to academic researchers interested in drivers and negative impacts of large-scale, industrial animal agriculture, especially concerning LMICs (low- and middle-income countries).

- $60,000 (for PhD holder – single individual or team of up to four persons).
- $45,000 (for student close to completing PhD – single individual or team of up to four persons).
- Academics working/studying in universities or independent scholars.
- No restrictions as to applicants’ place of residence or citizenship.
Duration of fellowship: 9 months
Purpose of fellowships:
- To shed light on the “burning questions,” to deepen non-academics’ understanding of issues raised in the “burning questions,” help them to take action, make better decisions, and solve real-life problems.
- To provide opportunities for academics to do research geared towards their own academic advancement beyond preparing fellowship deliverables.
Main work and deliverables:
- Research topic of own choosing that addresses issues raised in a “burning question” and that has practical application. Put findings and practical advice in an 8,000 – 10,000 words plain language report.
