Research Grants

Please use this form to apply for a research grant of up to £1000. The award is intended to encourage small research projects by making resources available to fund expenses which might otherwise prevent small or pilot studies from taking place. The funds may also be used towards larger projects where additional funding is also sought elsewhere.

Research Projects should be communicated both within ARCS for example in TRS, and where appropriate, by publication as a research paper, or as an oral/poster presentation at a scientific meeting.

Applicants need to obtain agreement from their HFEA Person Responsible to confirm they have permission to undertake the research proposed.

Researchers will be required to make sure they have NHS Research and Development Permission, Ethics Approval and/or HFEA research licence as appropriate before commencing the research.
