Dear all
I am a member of the committee which hands out the fellowships and
bursaries for the development R&D capacity in the region.
For this next year the amount of funding available has been severely
cut as you will perceive from the paper sent out by David with the
latest HCLU mailing. The deadline for applications for this year is
15th May, 2000.
However don't be put off by all this. It is clear that
this activity ie giving people bursaries and fellowships to pursue
training in research methods is an important element of R&D
expenditure as well as funding actual research projects. I am sure
that better prospects will appear in the future. Therefore now might
be the time to be thinking about whether you need/want to pursue just
such a course. You also need to be well supported by your
organisation.
If you want to discuss the process further have a word with me and
David.
Valerie
