Large grants

TENOVUS Tayside and NE Fife invite applications for TENOVUS Scotland Research Grants.

Awards of up to £100,000 will be made:

1. Preference is given to:
   • Pump priming studies, which are thought likely to lead to subsequent funding from major grant-giving bodies
   • Innovative patient-related projects
   • Early career investigators
   • Applications from investigators lacking other substantive support in the early stages of a new project
   • Recent recruits
   • New collaborations between established investigators
2. Tenovus Scotland - Tayside & NE Fife does not fund:
   • Applications for work that will be conducted outside of the relevant region
   • Applications that fail to provide evidence of appropriate ethical permission, or statistical justification for sample/cohort sizes (where appropriate)
   • Equipment for routine patient care or for assessment of new products, which the manufacturer might be expected to finance
3. Furthermore, while there are no hard rules, Tenovus Scotland - Tayside & NE Fife does not usually fund:
   • Applications from established investigators for work within their usual field of expertise
   • Applications from  PhD or otherstudents
