Aim
The grant is intended to help support research of an educational nature that will benefit education in anaesthesia, critical care or pain.

The support
Budget for the round is £10K and applications for up to this amount will be considered but applications for smaller sums would also be welcome. The grant is not intended to pay salaries but may be used to purchase service of a third party e.g. to carry out interviews or secretarial support for transcription of interview material.

The grant may be used to purchase items of equipment. In this case the equipment will remain the property of SEA UK and be considered to be on loan. This will allow such equipment to be used by other researchers as appropriate.

The grant is not intended to fund registration fees for higher degrees.

Report
The applicant will be required to submit an interim account of the progress and results of the research when the project is concluded, and no more than 2 years after payment of the award has been made.
