Project Description
£10,000 of funding broadly for research enablement and researcher development in the chemical sciences in 2020. It should not replace or reduce institutional or funding agency support for departments.
Heads of Department may allocate this funding in different ways based on their judgement of local needs. Ideas include but are not limited to: Undergraduate research projects; Virtual conferences, seminars or competitions organised by/for undergraduates, postgraduates or postdocs; Remote research projects e.g. computational or literature review; Researcher development tools or projects such as online training or development of outreach or teaching resources; Research software, equipment or consumables.
In December 2020, we will ask you for a brief summary of how you have used the funding so that we can report on its impact to our Trustees. There is no detailed auditing requirement.
