RESEARCH FUND 2010 - TIME TO APPLY!
Applications are now invited from BABCP members for the Association's annual Research Fund grants.
As in previous years BABCP is offering a one-year grant of up to £20,000 for small-scale research projects.
For 2010 BABCP is also inviting applications for PhD funding over three years, up to maximum of £20,000 per annum.
Grants will be decided upon scientific merit and peer review. It should be noted that, in the event an award is made in respect of a three-year PhD, there will be no further grants for another three years.
Conversely, a number of one-year standard grants may instead be made from within the £20,000 allocation (e.g. one for £5,000 and another for £10,000).
The closing date for applications is 9.00am on 30th July 2010. A three-month long peer review process will then take place with the successful applicant due to be announced in November.
This will be the fourth year grants from the Research Fund have been awarded.
BABCP President Elect Professor Shirley Reynolds says, "The Research Fund as been highly successful in recent years in funding small scale research projects into the application and efficacy of CBT in novel settings. This year we wanted to extend the scope and consider projects over a longer period of time that would support the work of the Association more appropriately."
In line with the recently approved BABCP Development Plan, a formal review of the Research Fund programme will be undertaken to explore ways in which it can sustainably look to support and/or commission research or research capacity-building projects to reflect the Association's aims and objectives more substantively.
