The BBSRC have opened calls for their 2010 round of public engagement awards, an annual funding competition, which offers funds of up to £5000 to support BBSRC-funded researchers, institutes of BBSRC, and BBSRC local coordinators to undertake public engagement activities. Applications that repeat previously successful activities as well as applications for new activities are welcomed. Priority will be given to applications that focus on dialogue with public groups, particularly adults and hard-to-reach groups such as ethnic minorities, inner city communities or those with special needs. For details on how to apply, click on the link below. The closing date for applications is 15 January 2010.
