The National Research Foundation is inviting applications for equipment-related mobility and training grants. The equipment-related travel grants are sub-divided into two categories, namely:
- General equipment travel and training grants, which makes funds available to researchers requiring access to specialised equipment that is not available regionally or nationally. The grant will cover national or international travel and subsistence as required; and
- Synchrotron travel grants, which makes funds available to researchers requiring access to a synchrotron radiation facility. The applicant must provide evidence that he/she was successful in his/her application to utilise a beam line(s) at a synchrotron radiation facility.
The equipment-related training grants makes funds available to support workshops focused on training technical staff, postgraduate students and other users of specialised and state-of-the-art equipment that were acquired either through the National Equipment Programme (NEP) or the National Nanotechnology Equipment Programme (NNEP) grant awards. This includes practical training and short courses on the use of specialised research equipment.
