Grants and bursaries
Two rounds a year, decided by a panel of members. Small awards, quickly paid, with a short report at the end and no branding requirements.
Funders

What we fund
Awards of £2,000–£8,000 for work that would not otherwise happen: pilot studies, co-produced research, translation costs, and the unglamorous parts of a project that larger funders overlook. We do not fund salaries, equipment over £1,000, or conference attendance outside the bursary scheme.
Who can apply
Members within five years of their doctorate, and members at any career stage working with a lived-experience co-applicant.
