Conference Support Grants Previous

30 July 2026

When can I apply?
Applications for Conference Support Grants are considered by the Trust Board three times a year. Applications can be created and submitted online in the eight weeks or so prior to these dates:

1 March
for the April meeting of the Trust Board

1 June
for the July meeting

1 October
for the November meeting

N.B. University/institutional applicants should advise their Research Office of their intention to apply at least 10 business days before the above deadlines. Remember that institutions will have their own internal guidelines which must be followed.

When will I hear the outcome?
Funding decisions are made by the Trust Board at its next meeting – usually four to eight weeks after each funding round closes. All applicants are then notified by email. The MPPT office will also send copies of notification letters by post if these are specifically requested by applicants.

Reports
Recipients of Conference Support grants are asked to provide the Trust with a brief report after the conference has been held. You will be able to complete the final report in our funding portal.

A copy of any published proceedings of the conference will also be appreciated by the trustees. All information supplied will be held in confidence.

If you have any questions, please contact the MPPT office.
