A limited number of bursaries of value up to £400 will be made available each year by the NMRDG of the Royal Society of Chemistry to support training, short research placements (including industry) and conference attendance.
The application process is competitive and there are 3 deadlines per year, 1st March, 1st July, and 1st November. Decisions will be communicated within 4 weeks of the closing date.
Applications are open to all current PhD students based in a UK University or research institute, and those training in industry without a PhD provided you are a member of the Royal Society of Chemistry and the NMRDG. Applications will be considered by a small group from the NMRDG committee and will be prioritised based on scientific merit. Applications of equal scientific merit will be further prioritised according to criteria including access to alternative funding.
Successful applicants for conference bursaries are expected to present at the meeting (as either oral or poster) and this status must be confirmed before any payments are made.
Bursaries will be paid to successful applicants on receipt of proof of travel, submitted either before or after the meeting. This should include submission of photocopies of registration/tickets/travel documents (showing cost and travel dates), accompanied by a receipt as proof of payment. In the event that the recipient is unable to attend the meeting the value of the bursary payment should be returned to the NMRDG.
Recipients will be required to write a short report after the conference.
