About RoSPA / BNFL Scholarship Scheme
The RoSPA / BNFL Scholarship scheme provides support for safety-related research that will produce defined, practical and influential outcomes to help save lives and prevent injuries in the UK and around the world. It was established with £500,000 of legacy funding following the winding up of BNFL (British Nuclear Fuels).
The RoSPA / BNFL scholarship is a unique accident prevention scheme. Up to three projects are awarded grants annually.
Applications for the fifth round of funding available through the RoSPA / BNFL accident prevention scholarship will be invited from Autumn 2012.
The Scheme is being guided by an Oversight Group comprised of:
Tom Mullarkey MBE and Roger Bibbings MBE (nominated by RoSPA)
Rear Admiral Paul Thomas CB and Dr Richard Taylor (nominated by BNFL)
