They are not available for meetings or conferences. Visits may be abroad or within the UK and the Fellowships may be used for travel and/or accommodation.

Applicants for all BACR Awards should send their applications and related documentation by email to the BACR Secretariat:

bacr@leeds.ac.uk

Applicants can expect to hear the outcome within a month of the closing date.

Up to a maximum of £2,000. All hard copy receipts must be returned along with a written report that may be published in the Association's newsletter.

Eligibility

Available to individuals who have been BACR members (full or student) for at least one year at time of application; preference is given to more juinor researchers (i.e. those individuals with less than 5 years post-doctoral experience).

Full members may apply to the BACR for a second award (either a fellowship or travel award) but this must be at least 3 years following the initial award. Student members may apply for one Travel Exchange within their Student Stipend and then allow 3 years before applying for another Travel Exchange Award.

Preference will be given to applicants not applying to the BACR for either of the awards in the previous 12 months.
