Apologies for cross-posting, but UK-based contract staff of the forum
might find this interesting.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF 2005 BURSARY SCHEME
The Contract Research and Teaching Forum exists to support geographers
holding fixed term contracts in all fields of human and social
geography. The main activity of the CRTF is to disburse its' funds to
support geographers on fixed term contracts. We are now inviting
applications to access funds in 2005.
We operate two schemes.
(1) Annual Conference Scheme
This bursary funds one contract research or teaching staff member to
attend the 2005 RGS-IBG conference in London. An award has already been
made for 2005, and an announcement regarding the 2006 scheme will be
made after the September AGM.
(2) Conference support scheme.
The CRTF intends to make four awards of fifty pounds to help with
attendance to any conference with a geographical flavour.
Consideration will be given to all reasonable applications.
Applications involve notifying the Awards Officer (Paul Benneworth) of
the title of the conference and the current position of the applicant.
There are a series of rolling deadlines for this scheme through the
year; the next of these is 30th September 2005.
All decisions will be made within 6 weeks of the deadlines.
Further details are available from, and applications can be made direct
to, the Awards Officer (Paul Benneworth): c/o CURDS University of
Newcastle Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 7RU [log in to unmask]
