Workshop call - Eligibility and proposal form
Please note the information below is for information only. We are not currently accepting workshop applications.
Proposals will only be accepted from staff teaching students registered on an HE course, including MSc and PhD degrees, in Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Medicine. Because of our remit specifed by our HEFCE funding, we regret we are not able to support Continuing Professional Development courses. Funds are allocated on the basis of a competitive bidding process, judged by a panel appointed by the Director, using the criteria described below.
All proposals should confirm that the subject centre Nominated Primary Contact for the appropriate medical, dental or veterinary school is aware of the workshop proposal (see full list). Workshop proposals may be copied to the relevant NPC (or NPCs) by the subject centre staff and if successful, NPCs will be required to countersign the contract with the subject centre.
Proposals for funding must be made on the subject centre application form.
Only fully completed proposal forms which reach us by the deadline, or a negotiated extension, will be considered for funding. Proposals sent by post should include 3 hard copies and be addressed to:
