Awards

The MACP supports, promotes and develops members through education and research activities. The total amount of funding committed to this activity has been increased from an annual £19k to £31k. These awards are split between continuing professional development and research activities.

We strongly encourage all MACP members to apply for these awards. In a typical year 75% of applicants are successful in their application being awarded funding and some awards do not always receive an application on every round.

You can view previous successful Education Award reports here and Research Award reports here. The document below includes an example application to help with Education award applicants.
