- How to apply: The Trustees meet twice a year to consider applications for project grants from research teams based at UK universities. All applications must be emailed to [email protected] and submitted as one microsoft word document, not multiple .pdf files, including CV’s and letters of support.
- What they don’t fund: Grants are not made to the general funds of other charities, or directly to individuals, or to projects based outside the UK (although projects may entail collection of data in other countries).
