PRISE particularly welcomes applications from researchers in developing countries, or associated with developing country research institutions.

Grants

Up to £5,000 is available for grants to individuals or institutions to cover reasonable costs, which might include personnel fees, travel costs, field work expenses. Indirect costs and overheads will not be covered. There is the potential for projects that bring exceptional value to the programme to receive funding of up to £10,000.
