BABAO Small Research Project Grants
BABAO offers funding grants for small research projects which are available annually, by competition.
The competition is open to ALL members of the association.
During 2007 up to three grants will be awarded, of a maximum of £500 each. These grants may be used to support research in biological anthropology and osteoarchaeology, both to undertake the research directly, and to commission specialist services required in the course of the research project. They may NOT be used to fund conference attendance. Specialist equipment required to undertake a project is unlikely to be funded unless it is highly specific to the research project, and, if this is the case, the applicant must also demonstrate that the funds could not reasonably be obtained from other sources (such as the developer).
One of the three grants is reserved for applicants from the Commercial Sector (Field Units etc) -for which there is there is a separate application form.
Applications must be sent by email to Dr. Sonia Zakrzewski at the email address given on the application form.
Grant proposals will be reviewed by the committee and up to three grants of a maximum of £500 will be awarded. Notification will be given to the applicants via the website and the BABAO e-mail list.
Grant winners are expected to present their research at the BABAO conference in the year following the award (so 2007 grant winners are expected to give either a paper or a poster at the 2008 conference). Publication of the research in the conference proceedings is also expected.
The Deadline for the 2008 Small Research Grants Competition is Thursday 15th May
