Overview

The scheme is competitive and is financed by a bequest of £500,000 from BNFL to fund 2-3 scholarships a year. These will enable students to carry out research into safety and accident prevention that will produce defined, practical and influential outcomes to help save lives and prevent injuries.

Applications are invited for projects up to £20k per annum addressing any of the following key safety challenge themes:

Road safety: to improve standards of driving behaviour
particularly young drivers, older drivers, speeding, fatigue-related accidents, or motorcycle safety
Home safety: to reduce home accidents
particularly data collection/analysis, poverty and deprivation, or child safety
Work safety: to raise standards of health and safety management
particularly in relation to small firms, accident investigation, director and team leadership, workforce involvement, or costing accidents
Water and leisure safety: to reduce injuries in water and leisure activities
particularly safety in outdoor education
Safety education: to enhance risk understanding and awareness
particularly risk awareness in preparation for work
General safety: to increase public awareness of safety and accident prevention
particularly safety and risk literacy among key decision makers and communicators or to identify and tackle wider social determinants of injury such as deprivation.
