Research Proposal Development Grant

C-DICE is pleased to announce an open call for a special Networking Grant designed to support postdoctoral researchers who are applying for Fellowships or Research Grants. This grant may be used for travel costs to develop (or strengthen existing) collaborations with potential delivery partners, or it may be used to network with potential delivery partners to co-create your project proposal. Due to the tight timescales, applications for this Networking Grant will be fast tracked. C-DICE members may apply for this grant twice (2x) per calendar year.

CALL DETAILS
This call for proposals is made possible by a grant from the Research England Development fund. Funding is available to cover travel & subsistence only.

The maximum award is £1,000 if used within the UK (£3,000 if used internationally); the amount awarded will depend on the networking activities.

C-DICE will fund contribute 100% of these costs. No salary will be paid from this grant. The selection process is managed by C-DICE.
