Preference will be given to fixed term staff based in the UK and unable to access resources through their institution, although consideration will be given to all reasonable applications. We particularly welcome applications from people returning to the academic world following career breaks. Applications involve writing a letter to the Awards Officer (Paul Benneworth)requesting the funds, and explaining the circumstances of the applicant. The deadline for applying for this award is 31st March 2005. (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.
