Inclusion & Diversity Fund

Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC)

Our Inclusion and Diversity Fund provides financial support for innovative products, activities and research projects that do just that.

Previous recipients of our funding have included projects related to gender, disability, socio-economic background, language, race and ethnicity, the LGBT+ community and more. These have been delivered via initiatives such as data collection and analysis, workshops, conferences and hackathons.

Eligible projects must have clear intended outcomes, for example:

removing barriers to access and progression for underrepresented groups in the chemical sciences, ensuring equitable representation and fostering a sense of belonging
enhancing retention, career development, and leadership opportunities for diverse talent in chemistry, addressing bias in career progression and creating accessible pathways for professional growth
creating an inclusive culture in chemical sciences education, workplaces, and institutions by embedding accessibility and equitable practices that support belonging for all.

We will consider individual applications up to the value of £5,000. Funding greater than £5,000 may be considered for one project each year.

Eligibility Requirements

The proposed project must focus on inclusion and diversity – outreach or chemistry research projects will not be considered. If your application is considered more suitable for the Outreach Fund we will contact you and seek your approval to transfer your application.

Applications relating to a range of audiences will be considered, including different age groups, career stages, geographical regions and sectors.

For further detail on our audiences for inclusion and diversity activities please see our inclusion and diversity strategy.

Please note, the Inclusion & Diversity Fund is intended for projects that directly investigate or address inclusion and diversity issues in the chemical sciences. The Inclusion and Diversity Fund is not intended to fund chemistry research.

Who can apply?

The grant scheme is open to RSC members or non-members based in the United Kingdom/Republic of Ireland.

Eligible applicants can apply either as individuals or on behalf of an organisation. This includes, but is not limited to, member-led groups, researchers in academia or industry, museums, community groups, not-for-profit organisations, arts groups and libraries.

The I&D Fund does not support:

Chemistry research projects, even if led by individuals from underrepresented groups
General outreach initiatives that are not directly linked to inclusion and diversity in the chemical sciences
Projects that do not demonstrate a clear, measurable benefit to inclusion, accessibility, or diversity within the chemical sciences

Previous recipients of any of our grants are welcome to apply for funding, provided they fit the current eligibility criteria below. This can be to scale up a project that already exists or to fund the development of an original project.

Applicants should not resubmit an unsuccessful application unless invited to do so.
