CIEH funding for research projects

The CIEH sets aside a budget each year to support environmental health research. If you would like further information and/or to apply for support for a research project, please contact John Guild on 0207 827 5842 or fill in the email form.

The criteria for applications are as follows:

Procedure and conditions of grant applications

  1. CIEH members only are eligible for research grant aid.
  2. Applications in an agreed format are to be made in advance.
  3. Eligible costs include legitimate expenses, but exclude tuition and course fees.
  4. Payment will be made on receipt of invoices or written evidence of expenditure.
  5. Grant instalments will be paid, up to a maximum of 75% of the total grant, before receipt of the completed research paper offered for possible publication in JEHR. The balance will be paid on publication or at such other time as agreed.

Assessment criteria

Each case will be judged on its merits. The awarding body will wish to consider:

  • The extent to which the research is likely to contribute to the knowledge-base of environmental health;
  • Value for money in relation to the proposed expenditure;
  • Whether the methodology is appropriate and robust;
  • The proposed timescale; and
  • Any other relevant matter.
