PROTOCOL FOR RESEARCH GRANT APPLICATION
1. Introduction
The Foundation supports research undertaken by staff of all disciplines within Neuroscience at Royal Preston Hospital and the University of Central Lancashire.
The funding for these purposes is of course limited, and the Trustees wish to ensure competing bids are considered in both a timely and consistent manner. This paper sets out the process by which such applications will be handled from 1st April each year.
2. Timescales
The Trustees will consider applications twice a year:
- At their first meeting following 1st April
- And the equivalent meeting following 1st October.
Applications shall be lodged with the Secretary no later than 10 working days prior to the meeting.
Dates of meetings can be obtained from Gwen Quayle.

Applications must be made by completion of the pro forma attached below. Download a PDF file of the form. Incomplete application will not be considered.
4. Foundation Award
This Award will be given to a young Neuroscientist from the Preston Unit (excluding Consultants) or UCLAN for an original paper relating to a Neuroscience topic.
The work should not have been published or presented elsewhere in the same format. The criteria for scoring are originality, methodology, presentation of results, discussion, conclusions and the potential for clinical application. The completed manuscript (including an electronic version) should be submitted to the Foundation Secretary by 2nd March 2010.
