The Charles Boyden fund awards Small Grants ranging from £150 to £500 and the number of awards will depend on the Association having sufficient funds. Applicants must be ECSA members and either postgraduate students or early career researchers (<5 years since graduation).
Charles Boyden was an excellent estuarine chemist whose life was tragically cut short. He was a founder member of the Association and made great efforts to promote it internationally. The ECSA small grants are awarded in honour of his name.
Applications are especially encouraged from members from less developed countries. An application must fall into one of the following categories:
- Support for research including field work expenses, travel or purchase of equipment or consumables
- Activities to enhance your research including visits to specialist laboratories or to view specific research collections
- Participation in an academic conference preferably with a presentation of your research findings
- Participation in a training course or workshop
Open year round.
