There is no minimum. The Trustees meet three times each year to review applications for funding. Meetings are in March, July and November, and closing dates for applications are 28th February, 30th June and 31st October respectively. Applications should be made using the application form. These should be submitted to the Secretary of the Trustees: Dr Mike Petchey, Department of Biochemistry, Walsgrave Hospital, Coventry, CV2 2DX email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

The amount of money being requested, with itemised details of expenditure where possible. A concise statement in no more than 500 words of how the money will be spent, including details of previous work if the award will be used to extend a research project. If the award will be used to part fund the project, the total cost should be given and the source of the additional funding. A signed statement from the head of the applicant's department that he/she approves the application and will provide the necessary facilities, leave of absence, etc. that may be required is also necessary.
