Call for applications: research grants from the SIS
The deadline for the next round of applications is Wednesday 1st March 2017.
The
Scientific Instrument Society (SIS) awards small grants, of up to £500
each, for research on the history of scientific instruments. Applicants
do not need to have any institutional affiliation and applications that
are for less than the full amount are just as welcome - a properly
costed proposal with a clear relevance to the Society's interests in
historic scientific instruments, a realistic timetable and a tangible
result are the most important factors that the committee will be
considering.
Please note
that the grant awarded will be paid against actual expenditure and funds
cannot be paid in advance. The grant is intended to cover items such
as travel, accommodation (excluding meals) and photocopying costs. Please note that we cannot fund conference travel or contribute to the cost of outreach projects such as events and exhibitions.
