Analytical Division Funding

Division funding

Travel Grants for PhD Students and Early Career Scientists

Division Members can apply to the Analytical Division for a competitive travel grant to attend any scientific conference or workshop anywhere in the world. Grants are available to cover domestic (up to £200), continental (up to £400) and intercontinental (up to £800) travel to meetings where applicants give oral or poster presentations (we will also consider applicants not intending to present if their attendance will be a significant benefit to their career).

Applications are assessed on a monthly basis – please apply online.

Scientific Meetings Grant

Division Members can apply to the Analytical Division for up to £2000 to support your scientific meeting, including (but not limited to) scientifically enhancing your own existing meetings (international speaker expenses, for example) or fully supporting a "no frills" research meeting or workshop.

Applications are judged every 3 months – please apply online.

Analytical Chemistry Trust Fund

The ACTF supports strategic Analytical Division activities. Trustees are elected members of the Analytical Division Council.

ACTF also funds the Community for Analytical Measurement Science (CAMS) secretariat, lectureships and post docs.

COVID-19 Disruption Grant

ACTF Trustees recognise the disruption that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on analytical science students. We are launching a disruption grant of £500 aimed at PhD students who are in the last 6 months of their PhD and need additional monetary support to complete their studies.

Note, this fund is to support personal costs to help enable students to complete their studies for example rent, or other caring or living costs, and cannot be used for laboratory research costs. Students must be resident in the UK or Republic of Ireland and registered at a University in the UK or Republic of Ireland.

The ACTF Disruption Grant Application Form is now closed and no longer accepting applications.
