Research Grants 2015

The Research Grants Committee met on 12 March and considered 41 applications from Fellows and non-Fellows spanning early-career and established researchers. 

They recommended to Council that £28,330 be awarded to 21 applicants, which Council approved at their 8 April meeting.  The Society is very grateful for the contributions made by the Jeremy Willson Charitable Trust, the Robert Scott Memorial Award and Novas Consulting Ltd.
