There are just two weeks left to apply for the Research in the Workplace Award (RIWA) 2006/7* award fund of £3000. 

RIWA is a biennial award that seeks to fund library and information practitioner-led workplace research projects. 

Projects can relate to any aspect of service provision, development or theory, and should be achievable within a twelve month period. The award can be used to fund equipment, consumables, buy-out time, purchase technical support etc. 

The application process is very straight forward so if you have even a tentative idea it is worth taking a look.

Full details of the award, including examples of previously successful applications, a copy of the current application form, guidance notes, and signposting to resources you might find helpful in developing your proposal are available from the RIWA web site at http://ifmh.org.uk/RIWA.html

I'll look forward to receiving your application.
