The Don Claugher Award
Don Claugher
Don Claugher was a scientist and Head of the Electron Microscope Unit at the Natural History Museum. His work was very experimental - he was very interested in new applications, methodologies and approaches to problems. Don was an active SEMT committee member for many years, holding both Chair and Treasurer positions as well as, in later years, an Advisor to the Society. Don sadly passed away in August 2005 and the SEMT continues to remember him for his enthusiasm for the society and his dedication to electron microscopy.
The SEMT offers funding for suitable microscopy projects. |
Funding Opportunity for Microscopy Projects
The SEMT is seeking applications from early career scientists, artists, universities or schools for funding of up to £1500 on suitable microscopy projects within the UK. The committee may choose to fund several smaller projects or fewer larger projects depending on the applications received.
We particularly encourage applications for summer studentships or collaborative projects between schools, colleges and universities. The fund may be used for consumables, small equipment or access time on microscopes. It may also be used to support costs associated with collaborations between institutions such as travel and subsistence (e.g. summer students needing accommodation at a host institute) but NOT for conference fees and associated travel costs.
Exclusions:
As stated above, the fund is not intended to cover conferences fees and travel expenses associated with conference attendance. The fund is also not intended for internal departmental laboratory and microscopy costs
Applications can be made at any time, but will be reviewed twice yearly, in April (for projects starting in the summer) and September.
