IMI Grant Enhancement Scheme

Eligibility, who can apply

  • Only current IMI Academic Fellows are able to apply for Grant Enhancements.
  • Fellows may apply for research proposal support in the form of a grant enhancement. This may be done at any time.
  • Fellows may submit one application per grant proposal.
  • Fellows may alternatively apply for 3-month internships for their PhD students. Please contact us to discuss internship opportunities before you submit an application.

How to apply

Requests should be submitted via a support request form at least four weeks prior to grant submission deadline.

Value of award

IMI Academic Fellows can request a cash contribution of 10% of the grant overhead coming to Bath up to £30,000.

Scope of the scheme

This funding should be used towards activities that cannot normally be costed into the proposal.  The grant enhancement can be used for additional MIRA time costed at 100% full economic costing (FEC).  Please note that one month of MIRA time at FEC equates to approximately £12,500.

Example
A project with overheads of £500,000 (to Bath), can request £30,000 in grant enhancement.  If used for MIRA time, this equates to approximately 2.4 months of additional MIRA time.
