About this opportunity
The Research Fund supports Royal Society of Chemistry members with limited access to research funds to start new projects. The scheme particularly targets those working in less well-funded institutes, those in developing countries, and early career researchers. The fund provides up to £5000 for 12 months to cover chemicals, equipment, consumables, specialist software licenses, equipment repairs, and equipment access. This funding opportunity aims to support independent researchers who face short-term funding gaps that impact specific projects, helping them advance their careers through promotion prospects or opportunities for further funding.
