Enhancement Themes Funding round
July 7, 2021 @ 5:00 pm
{Excerpt – See linked website for full details}
Funding Criteria
For an initiative to be eligible for funding, they should:
- use existing data and evidence held within the institution or create new data and evidence
- ideally be student-led or have significant student input
- Initiatives should make an identifiable difference to students and their learning and teaching experience
- have the potential for wide institutional impact. It is accepted that applications may have a focused remit for the purposes of a particular funding call, but initiatives, where the outcomes can be extended to the wider institution, will be viewed favourably
- have sustainable outcomes.
Conditions of funding
The purchase of equipment will not normally be funded, and funds are not available to support individuals in their own research.
Initiatives will not be funded more than once.
Successful recipients are required to submit a brief report on what they have achieved once the initiative is completed.

Reports may be submitted to the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) Scotland as part of the institution’s Enhancement Theme Activities.
