Note that the insert in this term’s newsletter contained a typo on the award amounts; the above figures are correct. The financial prize will take the form of a transfer to the winner’s School budget, and can be used for travel and subsistence in relation to research, including conference fees, books, consumables, survey costs, or any cost that can be shown to relate to their research.
