Researcher development grants

If you are an RSC member and a PhD student or postdoctoral researcher based at a higher education or research institution you are eligible to apply for a Researcher development grant.

This grant can provide up to £500 towards activities that will develop your skills and experience as a researcher, which includes participation at conferences.

Applications are processed monthly, with the deadline for each round being the last day of the month, and decisions being sent out by the 21st of the following month.

See the Researcher Development Grants page on the RSC's website for further details.

As a PhD student or postdoc you can easily join the RSC as an associate member (AMSRC) and reduced subscription rates are available - see the AMSRC page on the RSC's website for further details.
