The Small Grants Scheme is currently closed.

The Nuffield Foundation periodically reviews its programmes of work. The two social science research capacity schemes will be reviewed over the next 18 months. As part of this process, Trustees have decided to make some changes in the Small Grants scheme so that it can continue while the scheme is being reviewed.

The current Scheme closed on 17th July 2009. The revised Scheme will have a somewhat narrower remit. The Foundation will no longer try to fund across the full range of all social sciences, but will focus on work that more closely matches the wider interests of the Foundation. As a consequence, the budgetary ceiling for individual grants will be raised from the current maximum of £12,000.

We apologise, but we will be unable to provide any further details - by letter, email or phone - until the revised guidelines and application forms have been drafted and approved. At that point, they will be posted on the website with the new start date. We currently envisage these revised guidelines and materials being available early in 2010.
