Under this programme, community and voluntary groups are able to apply for grants of between £10,000 and £ 500,000 (and for exceptional projects up to £1 million) for up to five years to undertake research in the areas of social, medical or socio-medical research. Applicant organisations are encouraged to link up with universities and the wider research community, however universities themselves are ineligible to apply for funding. It is expected that the findings from funded research will ultimately lead to the development of better services for people in the UK. The Research programme aims to influence local and national policy and practice by funding VCS organisations to produce and disseminate evidence-based knowledge. In the longer term the programme, through producing sound evidence, aims to help develop better services and support for beneficiaries.
Three pre-application seminars will be held in late January/early February 2009. The dates and venues are:
- 20 January - Newcastle
- 27 January - Birmingham
- 3 February - London
