Between 1981 and 1996, the Keith Sutherland Award funded over 40 molluscan research projects undertaken by both amateurs and research students. More than 50 publications in respected international scientific journals were published from these grants, as were a number of books. Initially funded solely by the Australian Museum, in 1993, the Malacological Society of Australasia became a co-sponsor of the award.
Regretfully, in 1996 the Australian Museum decided to discontinue its support for the award.
