The Start-Up Fund one of the three funds that make up the Engage Grants, an annual funding call for public engagement activities run by the Public Engagement Unit.

Start-Up - for projects up to £200

This fund is to support applicants who have identified communities, special interest groups or organisations and non-academic individuals with whom you have not previously engaged. This funding will help create conditions for productive conversations and is not intended for public engagement activities but to foster relationships that might lead to public engagement with research in the future.
