GridPP Dissemination Awards Scheme

• GridPP is launching a small grant scheme to

  activities. These should highlight GridPP's work.
  
• Example projects might include
• Giving talks
• Funding summer students
• Working with local press
• Creating posters or web sites
• Developing demonstrations
• The awards will cover costs of up to 2,000.

GridPP Dissemination Awards Scheme

• Applications should be on one side of A4, and
  include
• The name, institution and contact details of the
  principal applicant. This can be any member of

  consider include what are your aims, what will
