The Royal Geographical Society (with Institute of British Geographers) is seeking applications for the Neville Shulman Challenge Award with an aim to further the understanding and exploration of the planet – its cultures, peoples and environments – while promoting personal development through the intellectual or physical challenges involved in undertaking a research project or expedition.
The Neville Shulman Challenge Award was established in 2001 for the Society by Neville Shulman CBE.
Funding Information
- Each year an award of £5,000 will be given to a challenging research project or expedition. Applicants must demonstrate how the project is challenging; intellectually, physically and in terms of the issue being studied. Projects should have elements of both local and global interest, a clear purpose to advance geographical knowledge through well outlined methods of data collection, and with opportunities to share findings widely.
Ineligible Funding
- The Society will not fund projects that take place, in full or in part, in locations to which the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO) advise against all travel prior to departure.
Eligibility Criteria
- Applications are invited from both individuals and groups.
- It is expected that the grant will provide the majority of funding needed to undertake the project.
Ineligibility Criteria
- Project proposals directly relating to PhD or MSc research will not be accepted.
