description
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS), through the Scottish Accountancy Research Trust, has an annual budget in excess of £100,000 available to fund research projects. The general aim is to support and encourage high-quality research that is timely and relevant to the accounting profession. Priority is given to projects that demonstrate relevance (direct or indirect) to practitioners.
Researchers may apply for research funding by submitting one of the following:
- A proposal for a project relating to one of the themes identified in the strategy brochure
- A proposal for a project falling outside the themes identified in the strategy brochure but consistent with the general aim of being timely, relevant and useful to the profession
- An application for seedcorn funding of up to £750 to undertake feasibility studies
- An application in response to a specific invitation to tender issued periodically by the research committee
Applicants for grants need not be Scottish, be employed at a Scottish institution, or be members of ICAS.
There are no financial limits, upper or lower, on the size of grant awarded. In practice, however, most grants fall within the range £5,000 to £15,000. The grant will cover direct expenditure attributable to the project, which may include essential teaching buyout, employment of a research assistant, travel and subsistence, and postage and stationery.
Computer equipment, conference attendance costs, and establishment overheads are generally not covered.
