List of Research Fund Grants

About this program

The British Cave Research Association (BCRA) has published a historical list of grants awarded under its Cave Science and Technology Research Fund (CSTRF) and Cave Science and Technology Research Initiative (CSTRI), listing for each award the reference number, year, applicant, project title, classification, amounts requested and awarded, and publication information, with a downloadable tab‑separated data file and summary statistics. The archive reports a total paid of £71,607.23 across 67 projects and includes a breakdown by subject (e.g., Speleogenesis £30,257.50; Archaeology £22,909.60; Biology £10,408.13). This is an archival report rather than an active funding solicitation—no application deadlines or eligibility criteria are provided—and the page is a work in progress that may contain inaccuracies, missing DOIs, and does not cover earlier BCRA Research Fund or Jeff Jefferson Fund awards.
