This financial support is intended for scientific works, especially contributions to a publication, or the participation to field research costs, to the purchase of instruments and eventually to travel expenses. The aimed goal should be purely scientific and not commercial. The subventions are primarily awarded in earth sciences, zoology and botany. In addition, the applicant must be a member of the SCNAT. The committee of the academy and the societies affiliated to the latter may also send requests for the publication of scientific work
