Apply for Project Funding
Good news!
Since the success of our first informal travel grant earlier in 2018, SPAN now have a formalised process to apply for small project funding.
Projects are considered on a case to case basis, with no deadlines for applications or time limits on applications.
Funding is unlikely to be awarded over the value of c £250, but each case is treated as individual and depends on the potential merits of the project to paediatric anaesthesia in Scotland.
The application form can be found here and the terms and conditions of application are laid out below.
Please send the completed application form to span.webmaster@gmail.com.
Notes for applicants:
- At least one applicant must be working at NHS in Scotland.
- The project group must be able to demonstrate relevant experience /expertise. The principal applicant should submit a short personal supporting statement and curriculum vitae.
- The project must be relevant for the specialty of paediatric anaesthesia.
- Applications should be submitted to the SPAN Secretary. The committee will review the application and will notify applicants of the outcome within four weeks.
- Applications can be submitted at any time during the year.
- Each application will be considered on its merits, taking into account the SPAN’s current financial position. If the number of applications exceeds the capacity of SPAN’s support, projects with the aims/benefits applicable across the paediatric services in Scotland will be given a priority.
- The project must be started within one year of the award or the funds will need to be returned. The timetable for the project will be agreed between the applicant(s) and SPAN as a condition of any award.
- Applicants must submit a report to the SPAN secretary and a final report for the SPAN website and Annual General Meeting at the conclusion of the project.
