Core Small Grants

In addition to the fellowships Core support, in 2008 we introduced a new Small Grants scheme where £75,000 was distributed between four outstanding research projects. With applications coming from a wide range of high quality projects, we are repeating the competition this year with the aim of raising more money to support this much needed research.
