Travel/Training Grants

ACORRN - Action Radiotherapy is introducing a new grant funding programme. Initially this will comprise twice yearly travel training grants of £500 each. Five grants will be awarded per round, one each to:

• Clinical Oncologists
• Radiographers
• Medical Physicists
• Radiobiologists
• Radiotherapy Nurses



The second round of Travel/Training Grants is now open. Application forms, Guidelines and Terms and Conditions can all be downloaded below. Applications must be received by ACORRN by 5pm on 14th January 2011.

Grants will be awarded to fund registration, travel and accommodation costs for ACORRN members to travel to research conferences or training courses related to radiotherapy research or improving clinical practice. The application process is intended to be simple, with rapid review and response to applicants. The aim of this funding scheme is to provide more opportunities for members to attend meetings and training courses with the aim of improving dissemination of research findings and clinical developments, fostering multidisciplinary collaboration and improving clinical and research practices.

Applications will be accepted from Clinical Oncologists, Nurses Working in Radiotherapy, Radiobiologists, Radiographers and Physicists working in NHS or academic institutions in England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. Applicants MUST be registered members of ACORRN at the time of application. Preference will be given those who would generally have difficulties accessing funding in any other way. Funding will be awarded for meetings or training courses which will take place between 3 and 12 months after the application deadline.
