D H Richards Memorial Bursaries

Award History

The Macro Group UK set up the bursaries as a memorial to D H Richards, who was one of the founding officers of the Macro Group UK and worked hard to establish it as a major group in the UK.

Applications

Application forms can be obtained by sending an email request to the Macro Group Secretary, Dr Nick Turner at nicholas.turner@dmu.ac.uk. You should apply at least 4 months in advance of the start date of the conference. This is to ensure that a full round of assessment can occur between application and potential award.

The completed application form must be sent by the applicant’s supervisor (to confirm their support of the application) via email to the Macro Group Secretary in accord with the following four deadlines: 1 March, 1 June, 1 September, 1 December.

Decisions will normally be announced less than 4 weeks after the deadline.

Lecture Details

The award consists of funds to attend a conference. It is expected that part of the funds needed to attend the conference will be obtained from other sources. The maximum bursary amount awarded will be £300 for a meeting in the UK and £500 for a meeting overseas.

As a condition of receiving a bursary award, the student or PDRA will be required to write a short report on the conference they attended for publication in the Macro Group UK Bulletin and on the Macro Group UK website.
