-the creation of learning communities that promote, support and sustain the integration of research, teaching and learning

Number and Nature of Awards
Funding is available at either of two
levels:

- Larger grants of up to €20,000
It is envisaged that up to thirty small scale projects and eight large scale projects can be funded nationally. Applicants will be required to submit an itemised cost breakdown with their proposal.
