2016 Research Networks' Funding Scheme
In 2015, the Association introduced an increased Research Networks' funding scheme which is part of the 50th Anniversary celebration of the Association.
RSA Research Networks are formed by RSA members interested in meeting to examine an issue that responds to the aims and goals of the Association and is of interest and concern to members of the Association as well as non-members. The issue needs not necessarily to have a direct policy focus but the examination would normally lead to policy related conclusions.

Timeframe: minimum of 3 years and reporting conditions apply
Application deadline: 31st July 2016, 4pm (GMT)
