Funding Opportunity - NESTA - Policy & Research Small Grants Scheme

31st January 2014

NESTA (the National Endowment for Science Technology and the Arts) has announced the launch of a new small grants scheme.

Grants of up to £10,000 are available to universities and incorporated research organisations, charities, companies and consultancies for research projects. This could, for example, be developing a paper, a proof of concept or a policy idea.

Priority will be given to proposals that address questions NESTA have not seen addressed before and that do not have coverage in the academic literature proposals that have a potential impact on thinking, policy or practice. NESTA plan to run the open call four times in 2014 and aim to fund up to ten projects in total across the year.

The first closing date for applications is the 21st February 2014.
