Applications for stargazing grants are now closed.
A Simple Application Process
This is a very quick turn around project with, in most cases, a prepayment of the grant by ASDC. The application is therefore short and simple. We understand that this involves developing new relationships with the dark sky teams so we are happy that you might not have every detail finalised at the time of application. We would however need evidence that the details had been finalised by March 30th in order for us to pay you the grant. Applications are invited from all ASDC members.
The ten selected centres would:
- Give a range of ASDC members in rural and urban locations
- Support centres with a range of experience in this area, including those who have done little in the way of stargazing before but are keen to develop in this area
- Include both outreach events and those at or near the science centres
- Include some centres who attract larger numbers to these events
- Demonstrate the desire to share ideas with others doing stargazing across the UK
- Be very keen to bring their experience of working with diverse community groups to this project

Deadline for applications is midnight 21st February 2012.
