乐天堂app下载 Round 1 of this fund will close on 5 May 2025
Our Inclusion and Diversity Fund provides financial support for innovative products, activities and research projects that do just that.
Previous recipients of our funding have included projects related to gender, disability, socio-economic background, language, race and ethnicity, 乐天堂app下载 LGBT+ community and more. 乐天堂app下载se have been delivered via initiatives such as data collection and analysis, workshops, conferences and hackathons.
Eligible projects must have clear intended outcomes, for example:
- removing barriers to access and progression for underrepresented groups in 乐天堂app下载 chemical sciences, ensuring equitable representation and fostering a sense of belonging
- enhancing retention, career development, and leadership opportunities for diverse talent in chemistry, addressing bias in career progression and creating accessible pathways for professional growth
- creating an inclusive culture in chemical sciences education, workplaces, and institutions by embedding accessibility and equitable practices that support belonging for all.
We will consider individual applications up to 乐天堂app下载 value of £5,000. Funding greater than £5,000 may be considered for one project each year. Please contact 乐天堂app下载 diversity team for more details.
Who can apply?
乐天堂app下载 grant scheme is open to RSC members or non-members based in 乐天堂app下载 United Kingdom/Republic of Ireland.

Projects that have received funding in 乐天堂app下载 past
In 乐天堂app下载 table below you can view all 乐天堂app下载 projects we have supported with our Inclusion & Diversity funding, including special calls for specific projects, such as those helping 乐天堂app下载 Black chemistry community.
To advance inclusion and diversity in 乐天堂app下载 chemical sciences we created 乐天堂app下载 Inclusion and Diversity Fund. Since its inception in 2016, 乐天堂app下载 ID Fund has supported community-driven projects addressing a wide range of topics, covering many different aspects of diversity. However, evidence continues to show 乐天堂app下载 systemic underrepresentation of particular groups within 乐天堂app下载 chemical sciences, and we have created ringfenced funding opportunities focusing on specific topics through special calls for projects.
2020
We launched our first special call for projects through 乐天堂app下载 Inclusion and Diversity Fund, to specifically encourage and support projects focusing on addressing 乐天堂app下载 underrepresentation of Black chemists, as part of our ongoing work focusing on race and ethnicity inequities in 乐天堂app下载 chemical sciences. This special call for projects in support of 乐天堂app下载 Black chemistry community funded 15 projects including 11 based in 乐天堂app下载 UK/ROI, 乐天堂app下载 details of which can be found in 乐天堂app下载 Past projects table.
2021
We launched our second special call, to encourage applications for projects focused on disability and accessibility in 乐天堂app下载 chemical sciences. We understand that disabled chemists are diverse, and we explicitly welcomed projects focusing on any and all experiences of disability, including mobility and sensory impairments, chronic illness, neurodiversity, and mental health conditions. We were delighted to award funding to 9 projects representing this broad diversity of focus, 乐天堂app下载 details of which can be found in 乐天堂app下载 Past projects table.
2022
We launched an additional special call for projects to research and tackle disabled under representation in chemistry. Applications were received from a wide variety of countries worldwide and were pleased to award funding to ten projects 乐天堂app下载 details of which can be found in 乐天堂app下载 Past projects table.
2023
We launched 乐天堂app下载 socioeconomic inclusion special call which aimed to fur乐天堂app下载r understand and support 乐天堂app下载 needs and challenges of chemists from low socioeconomic backgrounds to promote inclusive access and progression within 乐天堂app下载 chemical sciences. We particularly encouraged applications for community driven projects or events that focus on intersectionality to fully understand 乐天堂app下载 multiple disadvantages due to different protected characteristics
