COVID 19 Post Graduate Support Scheme (PoGSS)

SAGES announces a 2nd call for COVID 19 Post Graduate Support Scheme applications.

Aim:

Given the uncertainties surrounding the continuing Covid-19 pandemic, the SAGES Postgraduate Support Scheme has been extended. The pandemic has significantly affected Postgraduate PhD researchers reducing, and/or delaying thesis progress.

SAGES offers this opportunity for limited funding to members of the SAGES Graduate School. Funding can be requested for a unique piece of work that will contribute to the PhD project, but was not originally funded as part of the project.
The rationale behind this is to facilitate a meaningful, focused piece of work which contributes to the original project, but for which full funding is not currently available from the host institution.

Application criteria:

Funding will be considered for:

  • Short placements with a non-academic body or institution
  • Purchase of additional laboratory analysis or measurements
  • Investment in small items of equipment
  • Stipend contribution for the students. This must be 50% co-funded by the host institution.
  • Application Guidance notes:

    International travel and conference attendance is not eligible.
    Maximum of £2,000 per application.
    One application per student.If you received an award from the 1st call you cannot apply again.
