Before Starting the Application

Please read this page carefully before completing the Stage 2 Application Form for a Research Grant from The Abbeyfield Research Foundation.

While we operate an electronic submission system, it is still recommended that all Stage 2 applicants use the list below to ensure that all information relevant to their application has been read and/or submitted as appropriate. This will give all individuals the best chance of success at this stage

Form/Document Action from Applicants

The Foundation’s research objectives - Re-read and ensure project fits with remit.

Grants Awards Summary - Read and remain aware of which type of grant you are applying for.

Terms and Conditions of Grant - All terms and conditions need to be checked at both stages.

Notes for Stage 2 Applicants - Notes for applicants should be read thoroughly and will help ensure applications are successfully submitted.

Completing the Online Application Form

Once you have completed and sent your form, you will be given a unique reference number. It is important that you note this in your records and ensure that all correspondence with the Foundation includes your Stage 2 reference number.

When filling in our online application form, please take care to ensure that the information provided fits into the allocated box, and that you adhere to word limits where appropriate. This is to ensure that pages of the form do not overrun.

Some sections are mandatory and in this case you will not be able to proceed to the next section of the site without their completion. The online form will warn you which field you have missed.

If there are more than 5 co-applicants please contact us and we will provide an alternative method of submitting additional co-applicant details.

Submitting the Application

Applications are submitted electronically through our online forms. Click here to apply via the online application form

Signatures and paper copies are not required on the electronic submissions at Stage 2.

These will be sent to successful applicants via email or can be posted.
