What kind of application may be eligible |
It will be one that:
Promotes fire research, development of fire equipment or
fire service training or proposes to break new ground in fire prevention or
fire protection.
Demonstrates there is no obvious alternative source of
sufficient financing.
Will directly or indirectly benefit the UK public and/or
promote the safety and effectiveness of UK fire service personnel.
Shows the applicant will be making a significant input of
time, organisation and, where appropriate, finance.
Carries the endorsement of an academic body, professional
association or public agency.
One that does not exhibit any of the following features:
The project does not correspond with or is marginal to the
aims of the Trust.
The event/activity has already been or is being undertaken
elsewhere.
The proposal is of a nature that would normally be financed
from public funds or on the other hand appears to have the characteristics
of a commercial venture.
It appears to be too speculative in terms of the likely
benefit to the UK public and/or the UK fire service.
The necessary commitment of the person(s) involved is not amply demonstrated.
Please note: Assuming an application avoids any of the features listed above, it will still be subject to the Trust's policy priorities and budgetary limitations at any particular time.
