Please read this important information before considering applying for a Bupa Foundation grant.
Applications for a seed corn grant can be made for work in any of the areas funded by our medical research grants.
If you are a healthcare professional involved in research or a university based researcher with an interest in health or social care with a great idea for new research in one of these areas, you can apply for a grant to help you develop your ideas. This could be to support pilot work, for example, or to bring together a team of people to work on a proposal.
The seed corn fund has a total of £200,000 per annum to provide individual seed corn grants of up to £20,000 per proposal. The maximum award is £20,000 and it is expected that activities funded would be completed within a year.
Please note that each application must be made either by a researcher beginning their research career or if a pilot project by an experienced researcher, must include such a researcher on the team and contribute meaningfully to his/her development and training.
High priority will be given to applications from young and/or new researchers who have not previously been funded.
This grant round takes place once a year.
