Grants Committee

The Grants Committee is mandated by the Trustees to award two Collections Access Grants (each of up to £7500), five acquisition grants (each of up to £2000), two research travel and one educational travel grants (each of up to £1000) a year. Any further awards need to go to the Trustees for final approval. The committee receives the applications and discusses their worth, particularly in relationship to the DAS and its aims and then votes on them.
