Student as Producer (Research) grants are available to undergraduate and taught Masters students only. You may apply for up to £1000 for your project, though we welcome applications for smaller sums.

Research should be origional, student-led and unrelated to anything you are required to do as part of your course of study; i.e. funding cannot support any work which will later be submitted for assessment.

Grants may be used for the following:

• Costs associated with any travel which will be required for the project;
• Attendance at academic conferences relevant to the project;
• Costs associated with dissemination activities, e.g. printing, postage.

Grants may not normally be used for:

• Normal costs associated with writing a dissertation;
• Internships or work experience;
• Payment for time spent on the project.

Assessment criteria

We will assess applications using the following criteria:

Timescale: Is a detailed description of activity over the course of the project offered, with project 'milestones' noted, such as the planned dates of key events, travel, performances, and/or workshops?

Aims, Approaches and Activities: Are these clear and realistic? Is the design and method appropriate to the aims? Are research questions (if any) clearly framed? Are the planned activities detailed, including mention of other people to be involved? Is the project grounded in any of the existing relevant literature?

Outcomes and Dissemination: Are project outcomes clear, with appropriate plans for sharing and embedding insights learned? How are project insights to be shared within the institution and to the disciplinary community? Internal and external workshops, conference presentations, web-resources, publications?

Budget: Is a realistic and fully-costed budget provided?

Compatibility with IATL's aims: To what degree does the project meet IATL's working principles?
