Seed <\/span>funding <\/span>20<\/span>25-26<\/span><\/h3>\n

Funding is available to support the development of collaborative projects to be undertaken <\/span>by researchers at the University of Reading and the\u202fNatural History\u202fMuseum<\/span> (including <\/span>costs for proof of concept and proposal development, costs of meetings, travel and subsistence, research\/clerical assistance etc.)<\/span>. Most requests should be for up to \u00a32,000, but applications for up to \u00a34,000 will be considered for more ambitious, interdisciplinary projects.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Examples of eligible projects include \u2013 but are not limited to \u2013 collaborative development of joint grant applications, network development, joint publications, and\/or small-scale public engagement events.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis<\/span><\/b>, with outcomes communicated within two weeks from application in most in<\/span>stances.<\/span><\/p>\n

Applications will be evaluated by the partnership\u2019s Operational Delivery Group (ODG), with support from other senior members of staff at either institut<\/span>ion if necessary. Projects will be assessed on their relevance to the Partnership\u2019s six <\/span>priority areas<\/span><\/a> and the potential for beneficial impact in line with the two organisations\u2019 strategic aims.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If awarded funding, it is expected that successful applicants will be prepared to provide a brief report on progress to the Partnership\u2019s Operational Delivery Group if requested. <\/span>
