Hi all,
Further to Steve's message below, I thought it might be helpful to members
considering applying if I put up online my and Gideon Calder's successful application
for last year's round, so here it is (and thanks Steve for agreeing to this being
released): https://www.academia.edu/33871026/. Hope it helps!
As I've mentioned in that document, you're welcome to get in touch with me or Gideon
with any queries, but really you're much better off contacting Steve (who is
extremely helpful and generally a good egg).
Best of luck to all applicants!
Dave

> Dear all,
> Social Policy Association Opportunity Grants
> With teaching and marking now done, it is never too early to start thinking about next year and possibly applying for a Social Policy Association Opportunity Grant.
> The Social Policy Association has relaunched the grants scheme to have a maximum grant of £2,000 that can be used to fund seminars, workshops and other activities linked to research, learning and teaching. Social Policy Association Opportunity Grants are an important way in which members of the Social Policy Association can engage with policy makers, fellow academics and those working within social policy.
> The Social Policy Association is keen to support events and activities that further the Social Policy Association’s position within social policy, to disseminate knowledge and to have clear outcomes. In doing so, preference is given to applications that benefit groups and networks rather than individuals. This is an excellent opportunity to develop new networks, organise multi-agency events and publicise research.
> Examples of previous grants<http://www.social-policy.org.uk/category/grant-awards/> can be found on the Social Policy Association website, where you can see some of the excellent projects that have been funded.
> To apply, you must be a member of the Social Policy Association and then all I need is a maximum of two sides of A4, probably less, outlining plans and indicative costs. This should be emailed to me, the SPA grants officer, by Friday the 8th of September at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>
> Good luck and get applying!

> PS, I look forward to seeing many of you at the SPA conference in Durham starting tomorrow.
