Call for applications: Sci Inst Soc (SIS) research grants
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.
