The Large Awards Scheme provides funds for projects which are expected to have a significant regional or national impact. We offer awards from £10,000 up to £100,000. Almost anyone can apply but project teams must have strong links with STFC's scientific research community. We also encourage partnerships that may positively impact on the success of the project e.g. universities with science centres.

Projects must be relevant to publicising engagement or teaching about the STFC science and technology areas, namely:

  • particle physics;
  • nuclear physics;
  • space, ionospheric, solar and planetary science;
  • astronomy;
  • astrophysics;
  • cosmology;
  • studying materials with muon and neutron sources;
  • studying materials with synchrotron light sources;
  • research using laser facilities;
  • other science areas
