Funding - Mini-projects

Do you have a great idea for an educational innovation and need some funding to help you?

The MEDEV miniproject scheme has run since 2001, with over 150 projects supported/funded to date (see past funded projects for reports, etc.). In 2009 we linked up with the Health Sciences and Practice Subject Centre (HSaP) to offer some joined up aspects to our call.

You can apply for up to £5,000 (or exceptionally £10,000 for a collaboration) per project. See past funded projects for an illustration of successful applications. There is a total pot of approximately £25,000 available.

Please note that all project proposal are bought to the attention of nominated primary contacts (NPCs).
