Big Lottery Research programme

The Big Lottery Fund will provide up to £25 million to fund social,
medical or socio-medical research led by voluntary and community
sector (VCS) organisations in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern
Ireland.

The Research programme aims to influence local and national policy and
practice by funding VCS organisations to produce and disseminate
evidence-based knowledge. In the longer term the programme, through
producing sound evidence, aims to help develop better services and
support for beneficiaries.

Grants of between £10,000 and £500,000 are available for research
projects lasting up to five years.

In addition, Development grants of up to £10,000 are available, where
appropriate, to help applicants work up their research proposal.

The Research programme is open to VCS organisations in the UK only.
VCS organisations can partner with the research community but these
organisations may not apply for funding themselves.

To apply for funding you must first register with the programme. If
your registration is accepted you will be sent a password to open the
on-line application form. Go to
