The research record of the applicant assessed with regard to opportunity, the quality of the project and the relevance of the research to faculty and departmental research plans are key factors in selection. Potential applicants should discuss their applications with appropriate persons in the Faculty. Applications, together with the Faculty's recommendations, are forwarded by the Faculty Office to the Central Committee for consideration. Selection will be completed by the end of April 2000. Successful applicants will be funded with seed grants from May 2000 to April 2001.
Staff are eligible to receive only one grant.
The funds must normally be fully expended within the time period approved for the grant. Only in exceptional circumstances will a carry-forward be permitted, on written application to the Research Grants Manager prior to the end of the grant period. A report on the outcomes of the research conducted must be submitted to the Office for Research and Graduate Studies by 31 July 2001. Forms are available to download .
