CURRENT GUIDELINES
FOR PROJECTS:
|
|
- The
trustees will give greater weight to a project which is seen to
have a wide public benefit.
- Single
grants will be made, rather than long term funding, and that grant
may be disbursed by progress payments.
- The
results must be published either in a reputable scientific journal
or by display open to the public.
- The
demonstration of technical principles, the adaptation of scientific
research to use in society, scientific research, development work,
collation, storage of information, publication and demonstration
are all within the purview.

| EXAMPLES: |
- Restoration
of outmoded machinery which demonstrates a scientific principle,
eg:

Ram.
- Assembly
and presentation of geological information, eg:
- Investigation

These
