Research Development Fund projects
All current and completed, 2006 onwards
The Faculty, through the Research Committee, is able to fund a small number of low cost projects each year. Each proposal is assessed in terms of originality, timeliness, rigour, excellence, development and economy. The projects are expected to serve as 'pump-priming' activities, enhancing future opportunities to secure external funds
