Please read these notes carefully before completing the application form.
SECTION A GUIDANCE
· List all applicants involved in the project. Please include applicants’ full name, contact email address, status, and which School, Department or Unit they belong to.
· Indicate which applicant is the lead project contact, who will take responsibility for ensuring that a final report is submitted should the project receive funding. Every member of the project team should be listed.
· Students should indicate level and year of study, e.g. 2nd year UG, 1st year PhD, and provide the name of a School/Unit staff member who is supervising the project.
· The Proposed budget holder is responsible for arranging a cost centre and analysis code into which the funding will be paid if application is successful. This can be the funding applicant (if a staff member). If you are a student, the budget holder should be a member of staff, and the School Administrator should be approached in the first instance.
· The application form must be signed off by either the Head of School or the Director of Teaching
· Provide a detailed breakdown of the costs and how funds intend to be used. These funds should not be rough estimates, but should be accurate, as evidence may need to be provided to support these funding requests. It should be noted that applications requesting funding for the following will not normally be supported.
· purchase of teaching equipment
· stationery and printing
· scholarships/bursaries for students
· supplementing full-time staff salaries
*Please note that insufficient detailed breakdowns of costs is the main cause of delay in approving applications
