Grants to Individuals for the Study and Conservation of Ancient Mosaics

Terms and conditions

(1)	Grants up to a maximum value of £500 are available, as and when the Association’s funds permit, to support costs of travel and/or publication (e.g. photographs) relating to the study of ancient mosaics and/or work on the conservation or preservation of mosaics.

(2)	Applicants should be ASPROM members and doing research for a degree and/or for the publication of a book or article on ancient mosaics, or participating in a project to conserve or preserve mosaics.

(3)	Applications for retrospective funding will not be eligible. Successful applicants will receive grants prior to the proposed expenditure and will be required to submit receipts afterwards. It is expected that grants will normally be spent within a year of their award. Any money not used is to be returned to ASPROM.

(4)	Applicants must apply to the Honorary Secretary by the deadline, using the application form below. They must also ask their referees to write directly to the Honorary Secretary by the deadline.

(5)	Successful applicants will be expected to submit a short illustrated report on their research or the use of the grant, suitable for publication in the journal Mosaic or the ASPROM Newsletter, or an agreed alternative such as a talk at one of ASPROM’s symposia. An acknowledgment of the financial contribution from ASPROM should be included in any resulting publication.

(6)	Awards are made twice per year. Applications will be considered by a sub-committee which will make recommendations to the spring and autumn meetings of the ASPROM Executive Committee. The deadlines for applications are 31 January for consideration in March, and 31 August for the October meeting. Successful candidates will be notified as soon as possible after that.
