Applications should initially be submitted online as an outline proposal (termed the Initial Proposal). You will need to supply a draft budget, a summary of your project in no more than two pages single spaced, together with a two page c.v. that will be the subject to an initial screening (all files should be in PDF format). On the basis of this assessment the investigator may be invited to submit a Full Proposal, with a detailed description of the proposed research, full budget details, and a short statement of how the application fits into the applicant's present research programme. All full applications will be subject to external and confidential peer review, and will be evaluated and ranked in regard to the criteria described on this site.
