companies, museums, community groups, charities as well as arts groups and libraries. <br /> <br /> The assessment criteria includes applications’ focus on improving inclusion and diversity, having a clearly defined target audience within the chemical sciences community and being able to show the impact of the project.<br /> <br /> Previous successful applicants have included a £4,750 award to <a

engineering, and mathematics.</p> <br> <hr> <div class="sharewrap"> <div class="sharestorytext">Share Story:</div> <div class="jsiconwrap"> <a target="_blank" href="http://x.com/share?text=Funding
