We received 65 proposals across the three strands which was very encouraging and with the workshops we ran in June being well attended, I am pleased there has been a lot of interest in this new initiative. 
I received 39 applications for Co-Creation and Co-Production Strand (budget £400k), 7 for Study Leave Strand (budget £750k) and 19 for Staff Mobility & Networking Strand (budget £200k). The committees meet this week to decide which proposals get funding and Matthew Bennett will be in touch to relay these decisions to all our applicants. Applicants will know the outcome by 30th July.
If you were not successful in this round, I hope you won’t be discouraged from applying again to the fund in December, which is when we will open again applications. There is an opportunity to receive face to face feedback from a member of the panels, this is helpful in shaping future applications and our committee members are keen to help you secure funding in December.
For any other queries about the fund, contact me Sam Furr.
