The Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Association's grants support its educational and research priorities, and its reported awards have gone to a health service, a research charity and professional or educational bodies, so a request should be built around medical education or colorectal research.
- Typical grants have fallen between £1,100 and £40,000, with a median of £18,000, so a modest request near the middle of that band is a sensible starting point.
- No application process is published, so the best first step is to contact the Association using the contact shown in the annual report or on its website.
- No geographic focus is stated; the annual report shows grants mainly in Glasgow, but that does not limit who may apply.
- Its grant-making is not described as competitive or relationship-led, so a short enquiry before writing a full application is a reasonable way to test fit.
