Key takeaways

This charity suits organisations whose work concerns radiation protection knowledge, radiation protection education or professional standards, which are its stated themes.
The only giving figure given is £2,000 paid in its latest annual report, and the register does not confirm its scale, so a modest request tied to a specific scheme is the realistic starting point.
Organisations should read the rules and use the application form for the SRP Research and Innovations Scheme or the SRP Educational Resources Development Scheme, and applications are accepted on a rolling basis, so there is no fixed deadline to work towards.
How competitive the schemes are is not stated, so the funder's own rules and any direct enquiry are the best guide to whether a particular project will be considered.
