Small Grant Scheme
Applications closing date Friday 24 April 2020
Grant Criteria
Following the success of the 2019 Small Grant Competition, we have decided to launch another similar competition, the HDRF Small Research Grants Scheme, which will provide funding of up to £25,000 in value, tenable for up to 24-months. Applicants are invited to apply for financial support, of up to £25,000, to cover expenses arising from a defined dairy research project of timeliness and promise. Projects may concern the health and welfare of dairy animals and/or the socioeconomics of dairy production, processing and marketing. Projects must be based in Scotland. The deadline for receipt of applications is Friday 24 April 2020. Selection is based on assessment of completed candidate applications; please note that short-listed candidates may also be invited to attend an interview in Glasgow in May. Applications should be made by following the details outlined in the Application Guidelines, which may be downloaded. Candidates should also make themselves aware of the Terms and Conditions of Grant. Applications should be submitted electronically on or before the closing date.
Eligibility
Awards are open to postdoctoral scholars (or equivalent) who are ordinarily based at a Scottish research institution, university or are jointly applying with such a body. Applications require the approval of the applicant's employing institution, but are not limited to those of any particular status (e.g. Lecturer, Professor etc). Co-applicants may be from anywhere in the world, but the Principal Applicant must be ordinarily based at a Scottish Institution. Please note that post-graduate students are not eligible to apply.
