Key Notes

The Impact Fund will pay for: Directly Incurred costs are project-specific (i.e. they arise as a direct consequence of the project taking place), actual costs which must be auditable at the project level by the award organisation/ • The Impact Fund will not pay for: - Directly Allocated costs are not project-specific (i.e. they are incurred whether or not the project takes place), and are estimated at project level e.g. Investigator time, Technician time (where not directly incurred) and Estates costs. Indirect costs represent the costs of central and distributed services shared by other activities that are not project-specific e.g. Library services, Finance, Human Resources, and organisational IT. • The ethos of the award is to benefit associate members and their personal/career development over a sustained period of time – not to bring someone in to deliver and for them to then move out of the member organisation once the product has been completed. • Each single institutional award will be a maximum of £7,500. Collaborative bids from no more than three institutions is permissible and may request up to maximum of £10,000. • Only one bid per institution can be funded per award year and the funding will be paid to the lead institution only (if part of a collaborative bid).
