By | Grants | No Comments

The UKEMS Small Grants Scheme for Feasibility or Pilot Studies is now open!

The small grants scheme is aimed to promote research into key areas of relevance to UKEMS. The awards are primarily aimed to facilitate junior investigators establishing their careers. We will also consider awards to establish pilot/feasibility studies for preliminary data, with a view to obtaining further grant funding.

Funding is available for a period of up to 12 months and applications should not exceed £5000.

The deadline for applications is Friday 17th May 2019.

Further information and details on how to apply can be found on the UKEMS website: http://ukems.org.uk/about/bursaries/ukems-small-grants-scheme/
