SIS grants - application deadline approaching
Dear
all,
Just
a brief reminder that the deadline for the next round of research grants from
the Scientific Instrument Society (SIS) is Sunday 1st March 2015.
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 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.
Further information on what the Society can support and the terms and conditions of the award can be found at

The short application form may be found at http://www.sis.org.uk/grants/sis-grant-application-form
If you have any queries about the grants, please contact grants@sis.org.uk and a member of the Society will respond in due course.

Best regards,
Louise Devoy
