POSTGRADUATE SMALL GRANTS SCHEME

The SPA is pleased to announce the introduction, from January 2010, of a Postgraduate Small Grants Scheme to run alongside the existing Standard Small Grants Scheme.

The Standard and Postgraduate Small Grants Schemes are designed to help fund seminars and workshops dealing with research and/or learning & teaching in a way that is of benefit to the social policy community and SPA members. The focus should be on activities that will benefit a group or network rather than individuals. In 2010, applications for awards to support events with an international focus and/or to facilitate attendance from overseas, are particularly encouraged.

Funds will be made available in two rounds of applications over the year. Round one runs from 1st January to 30th June and round two from 1st July to 31st December. Applications are welcomed at any point within each award period, and funds are allocated on a first-come first-served basis. Each award offers a maximum of £500.

Applications are now invited for Round One 2010.

Full details of the schemes' terms and conditions are available on the SPA website: http://www.social-policy.com/gracond.aspx

Queries and applications should be sent to the SPA Small Grants Officer, Majella Kilkey, by email at M.M.Kilkey@hull.ac.uk
