Research grants 2017

The Research Grants Committee met on 14 March and considered 44 applications from Fellows and non-Fellows spanning early-career and established researchers. 

They recommended to Council that £35,086 be awarded to 32 applicants, which Council approved at their 5 April meeting.  The Society is very grateful for the contributions made by the Jeremy Willson Charitable Trust and the Robert Scott Memorial Award.
