GRANT APPLICATIONS 2024/25



Desired aims of teaching learning and research for grant application

The objects of The Della Fish Foundation are to promote, help develop and advance medical education for the public benefit. The founders want a (but not exclusive) focus on postgraduate medical education guided by the understanding of worthwhile education in the Moral Mode of practice.



The research should be collaborative and aim to advance the knowledge and education of the medical profession with a view to improving service and outcomes for patients, service users and their families and carers and the general public. The research must be creative and push boundaries for the betterment of practice. There are two levels of GRANTS, SMALL GRANTS and LARGE GRANTS.

Small Grants Award

These GRANTS will aim to fund educational research projects including funding to cover expenses for participation in meetings, lectures, seminars, conferences, and education courses. The grants are not intended to supplement the natural support that institutions should give to individuals such as salaries.

All recipients of the Small Grants Award will be contractually obligated to produce an end-of-project report to TDFF Board of Trustees and to make, via open licence, any teaching/learning resource produced available for open access on TDFF website. Any published work resulting from this Grant must contain reference to the funding source of TDFF.

The maximum award per individual or project under the scheme will be £20,000. Bids for smaller amounts of funding are welcomed and encouraged. Receiving a grant will not prohibit productive bids from applying again in the future.
