• Grants are normally given in the form of a salary. The Trustees prefer to support innovative and imaginative people - often early in their  research career - with whom they can develop a direct relationship. Applications should be submitted by those directly involved in the work--not development offices or paid fundraisers. Sometimes a contribution towards the expenses of a project are given.

  • Grants are normally limited to 2 or 3 years, but are sometimes extended. They are paid to or through registered UK charities.


  • Small one-off grants are sometimes given to projects falling within the current priority areas. These grants are awarded throughout the year.

  • The total grant budget for April 2008 to March 2009 is £910,000

  • The next Trust Board meetings are in early :
       February 2009 -
closed
      June 2009--proposals now  welcome
      October 2009
Proposals are considered as they arrive and suitable applications reviewed on a 'first come first served' basis, so apply sooner rather than later. Don't leave it to the last minute before a meeting or you will be disappointed.  Meetings are 'closed' to submissions at the discretion of the Trust.
