Applications for the grants mentioned must be submitted on-line from Wednesday 25 January 2012 onwards. Applicants should note the following deadlines for receipt of paper applications using their current forms and the period when applications will not be accepted during transition to their on-line system. Applications received during these periods will be returned.

Their Grants Management System (GMS) for on-line applications will be accessed via the Research Section of their website www.bhf.org.uk/research/research-grants.aspx Grant applicants, heads of department, institutions’ administrative authorities and reviewers will need to register on the site in the first instance using a unique email address and password. If they have pre-registered you, they will send you your log on details within the next two months.

The information required within applications will not change substantially. Scientific text and references should be prepared as normal but must be attached to the on-line application form as a single PDF document. Other information will be submitted directly onto the on-line form. A user guide for the site will be available and there will be a helpdesk for support.
