A Letter of Support must be provided from the Lead Organisation, and should be signed by someone with the appropriate level of authority within the organisation – this should be someone other than the Principal Investigator. The letter should be on letter-headed paper, and consist of the following statement:
“I am pleased to confirm that [name of Principal Investigator] is authorised to apply for this Creating Safer Space grant on behalf of our organisation. If the project is awarded funding, our organisation will provide full support to enable the Principal Investigator to carry out the project. The Principal Investigator will be permitted to carry out the project in their work time.”
There is no need to provide any further information. The letter will be checked to ensure the applicant’s eligibility, but will not be shared with the Funding Panel and will not otherwise form part of the review process.
