Gradconsult is running their microgrants programme for the second year. Applications are invited for small grants (the total pot of money available is £2,000) from researchers to support their research. The aim of these microgrants is to help researchers to kick-start their funding track record.
The key criteria for applicants are:
- You must have less than 3 years’ experience post-PhD, or currently be working towards your PhD
- If you have already received a research grant of £1,000 or more (excluding fee waivers/hardship bursaries etc) then you would not be eligible, but if you have had smaller grants that exceed a total value of £1,000, that’s not a problem
Applications are invited for any area of research, and the application process is not laborious.
Everything you need to know about the microgrants can be found, along with the application, at the link below. Deadline for applications is 31st March 2018 at 23:59 GMT.
