Research grants 2014
The Research Grants Committee has approved 15 applications from Fellows and non-Fellows, writes Stephanie Jones.
The RGC recommended to Council that £22,761 be awarded to 15 applicants, which Council approved at its 2 April meeting. The Jeremy Willson Charitable Trust and Novas Consulting Ltd. continued their generous support, and this year the Society has been able to do even more because of the additional gift in memory of Robert Scott which will fund Lisa Mol’s project. The Society is most grateful to CASP for this endowment, which was facilitated by Gary Nichols. A complete list of the approved projects, with sums awarded, is available in the online version of this article.
