In the summer of 1999, the new SLSA Small Grants Scheme was announced in the Socio-Legal Newsletter.The scheme's aim is to support work for which other funding sources would not be appropriate and to encourage socio-legal research initiatives in a practical way.
How to apply: SLSA members interested in applying for a small grant are reminded that the deadline is 31 October each year. Individual awards are up to a maximum of £1500.
You must use the official form for your small grant application and you are advised to look at the titles, reports and summaries from past grantholders to help you decide whether your project is appropriate for a grant. Decisions for each round of grants are made no later than 31 January each year.
The Research Grants Committee takes the following elements into consideration when judging applications:
* the coherence and costing of the proposal and the applicant's likely contribution to socio-legal scholarship, including anticipated publications or enhancement of the prospect of future research grants from other grant-making bodies;
* funding will not normally be provided for conference attendance or to subsidise postgraduate course fees;
* funding will not be provided via this scheme for one-day conferences or for seminar series;
* feedback will be given to unsuccessful applicants;
* no member will receive more than one grant per year;
* Executive Committee members are not eligible for the scheme.
