research fellowship award

We are keen to support, post graduate (doctoral) studies into matters that relate to the objects of the Trust; particularly where students might be discouraged from studying for financial reasons. The Research Fellowship Award is open to any UK resident.

The Award entitles successful candidates to receive up to 100% of the Directly Incurred costs of a complete post graduate programme of study, where the total value does not exceed £20,000.

In order to be considered for a Research Fellowship Award, applicants must have a letter from a UK university confirming that they have been accepted on to a doctoral programme.

Applications may apply for the directly incurred costs associated with tuition fees, or research, or both.

research project grant

We are keen to support high quality research projects, which are perhaps smaller than can be managed by the larger UK Research Councils or fall outside their priority themes but are important to UK fire and rescue services as a whole.

The minimum project grant is £10,000 and the maximum £150,000 secured over a maximum of four years.

Research grants may be awarded to any not for profit organisation which is acting under charitable purposes, which means acting for the public benefit.

Ordinarily, grants can only be made to organisations based in the UK.

We do not support research which is aimed principally at an immediate commercial application or in which the main focus is on capacity building, networking, or the development of the skills of those involved.

We will only support Directly Incurred costs and not the full economic costs of a research project (unless otherwise stated and only in exceptional circumstances).
Applications designed to lead to larger Research Council grants are welcome.
