The following is an electronic version of the printed application 
forms for Institute of Physics grants. Please note that we must 
receive printed application forms. We require a signed and dated 
application and so cannot accept applications electronically

Grants for National Science Week 2001

Create a big bang in 2001! The Institute of Physics is offering small 
grants to help fund physics-based events.  Any type of physics-based 
activity is eligible, for example lecture demonstrations, interactive 
science days and science theatre performances.  The grant scheme will 
primarily support events planned for National Science Week, 15-25 
March 2001. However applications will be accepted for events that are 
planned to take place at other times in 2001.

Amount of grant awarded
Grants awarded will normally be no more than £500.

Deadline for applications
Grant forms should be returned by 30 November 2000.
Decisions will be made and grants issued at the beginning of January 2001.

Support for National Science Week 2001
The Institute of Physics is once again fully supporting the national 
week of science, and is actively encouraging its members and others 
to communicate exciting aspects and applications of physics to a 
wider audience, beyond the classroom and workplace.

The scheme will primarily support activities to be held in National 
Science Week (16-25 March).  However grants will also be awarded for 
events that are planned to take place at other times in 2001.

Additional Information

1. Completion of forms
Complete the attached grant form fully.  Indicate the amount of grant 
required, and state the purpose for which the money will be used e.g. 
hire of equipment.  Incomplete forms will NOT be considered.  DO NOT 
attach any supplementary material with this application, except 
sheets for continuation purposes.

2. Priority of grants
Any type of physics-based event is eligible for a grant. Priority of 
grants will be given to members, schools, companies and others 
affiliated to the Institute, also to events that are aimed at the 
general public or mixed audiences, rather than just schoolchildren. 
The Institute is keen to develop links with scientific and 
non-scientific groups.

3. Previous applicants
Previous recipients of grants are welcome to apply for funding in 
2001, but the Institute will look for development of the idea or 
activity in the new application.

4. Evaluation and feedback
Feedback forms will be sent to all those that receive grants.  Event 
evaluation and feedback can be of enormous benefit both to the 
organisers and to those who provide support. Please keep in mind the 
questions asked in the feedback form whilst planning your event.

5. Recognition of the Institute of Physics funding
Recipients of grants are required to acknowledge the Institute of 
Physics sponsorship on all of their promotional leaflets.   Please 
include copies of promotional material and any press cuttings of your 
event with your feedback form.

6. National Science Week 2001 - national programme
If you are planning for your event to be held during National Science 
Week 2001 you may wish your event details to be included in the 
British Association's national programme.  For a programme entry 
form, contact the National Science Week Officer, British Association 
for the Advancement of Science, 23 Savile Row, London, W1X 2NB.
