The SWBio DTP has funding available as part of DTP3 to support student-led cohort training across the DTP (whether this would be a small or large cohort).  Below are some examples to inspire you.  Any ideas, please do contact the DTP Hub and we will help you to make these a reality!

For inspiration

• Seminar series
• Workshops
• Exhibitions
• Public engagement
• Widening participation and outreach
• Networks
• Conferences

For some examples of student-led activities that have taken place, you can see what has happened across the GW4.

Considerations

• Must be used to support the training of SWBio DTP students directly (whether this be a large or small cohort).
• Cannot be used to support individual student training activities.
• To have at least one SWBio DTP student lead applicant but we do encourage student collaborations within the DTP when leading these activities.
• We do allow for collaborations e.g. with other DTPs/CDTs (within your institutions/across the UK) but do discuss with us further as normally a funding contribution will need to be provided by the other DTP/CDT.
• You will need a listed academic advisor to help support you in designing the activity.
• You will need support from your supervisor that you have the time capacity to deliver this.
• Fees and salary costs for academic/student/collaborators time cannot be included. The exception is where a professional facilitator is being requested.
• Anywhere between £50-£1000 is available per application (justification of costs to be included in proposal).
• There is no limit on the number of times you apply, but priority may be given to new applicants if needed.
• You can apply for further funds to support a successful activity, but priority may be given to new applications if needed.
• Suggest you gain approval at least 3 months before the activity is due to take place to ensure you have enough time to prepare.
