How to submit a proposal for APLIC funding

APLIC funds research projects that further the knowledge of avian/power line interactions, including causes and solutions to avian mortalities due to power line electrocutions and collisions.  Examples of applicable research topics include:

• assessment of electrocution and/or collision rates associated with distribution and/or transmission lines
• effectiveness of various retrofitting practices intended to reduce avian mortality or mitigate problem bird nests on utility structres
• risk assessments to identify factors contributing to electrocution and collision mortality risks for different species
• evaluation of impacts of power line construction on bird species
