This fund is designed to provide IPEM members with an opportunity to work with interdisciplinary teams to take early-phase development of new and innovative research projects leading to the submission of large, externally funded research. These projects should bring together distinct research expertise to address priority research problems in line with the IPEM’s Science Leadership Strategy and where there is a clear pathway to sustainable external funding.
How much funding is available? Projects can be funded up to £25,000 with a maximum duration of one year.
Who can apply? Any IPEM Full member or Fellow can apply as the lead applicant, however the team should be multi-disciplinary and therefore can contain non-IPEM members.
How do I apply? Applications for 2024 are now closed, re-opening Spring 2025.
