Report Archives

BES Research Grant Report Archives

The Society funds several grant schemes where the successful applicants are expected to produce reports at the end of their projects. In order to encourage the dissemination of the research work funded by the Society, reports can be requested by the public three years after the stated award date though due to delays in the actual start of some projects, reports will not be made available until three years after the applicant actually claimed their award. Where applicants have published their work (and informed the BES of these publications), details of these publications will be provided in place of the full report. Requests for reports should be sent to the BES Grants Assistant. Please provide as much detail as possible in any request.
