Apply for a BACP research grant

BACP is inviting applications for the 2014 round of seedcorn funding for new and innovative research in counselling and psychotherapy. The seedcorn funding is worth up to £5,000 and is intended to support BACP members to undertake either a pilot project that could lead to a larger study or a small-scale study that can be completed within that budget. Any BACP member is eligible. BACP is especially keen to receive research proposals from practitioners.

Please note that BACP Seed Corn Funding will not be allocated to cover the costs of a PhD.

Applying for seedcorn funding. Deadline 5pm 8 November 2013

Applicants will need to complete the application form providing a detailed plan of their proposed research, explaining what the research question is, why it is important, and the methods they will use to address the question. Entries will be peer reviewed by Research Committee members and their decision will be final.
