The University of Birmingham has made available seed funding for colleagues who wish to initiate projects in collaboration with out U21 partners. This funding is open to both academic and non-academic staff.
In fact, most activities that can benefit from a critical mass in terms of cooperation with our U21 partners who possess appropriate expertise and interests.
The seed funding can help facilitate meetings, discussions and other activities that encourage a genuine collaboration between the University and its U21 partners, leading to the development of a wider initiative.
Funding is normally supplied for activities that take place within one academic year. Following this projects are expected to take on a longevity that would be self-sustaining or supported through alternative funding.
Applications are welcome for projects starting in 2011-12.
Advice and guidance concerning the funds and how to apply, and an application form are available below:
