The Science and Technology Facilities Council invites applications for its public engagement legacy awards. These enable STFC grant-funded public engagement programmes to continue to grow and evolve over time. Proposals should be linked to the original grant and must focus around the remit of the STFC science programme, or clearly and demonstrably align to the science and technology work of STFC鈥檚 national and international laboratories and facilities. Support may also be used for a continuation of activities that are dedicated to developing community networks or capacity building in public engagement.

The principal applicant must be eligible to apply on behalf of the organisation, which must be based in the UK. The applicant or their organisation must have held a previous STFC public engagement spark, nucleus, small or large award, which must have ended fewer than 36 months before the current award. Applications must include a researcher in an STFC-funded area of science or technology and applicants must demonstrate both the success of their original engagement programme, and evidence that success via good-quality evaluation.

Funding covers 50 per cent of the full economic cost, worth up to 拢50,000, for first-time awardees, and up to 25 per cent of the full economic cost, worth up to 拢25,000, for second-time awardees. There is no restriction on what the funding may be used for, including salaries, cost of materials and travel and subsistence.
