Research grants application deadline for the SIS

Dear all,

Just a brief reminder that the deadline for the next round of research grants from the Scientific Instrument Society (SIS) is Thursday 1 March 2012.

The 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 scientific instruments, a realistic timetable and a tangible result are the most important factors that the committee will be considering.

Further information on what the Society can support can be found at http://www.sis.org.uk/grants/what-we-support
Examples of previously successful applicants may be found at http://www.sis.org.uk/grants/sis-grant-aided-projects

The very simple application form may be found at http://www.sis.org.uk/grants/sis-grant-application-form
