The Gerald Kerkut Charitable Trust

"to advance education and research in Physiology at Southampton University by providing bursaries and prizes to students of physiology at Southampton University and publishing the useful results and to or for such other charitable purposes as the trustees shall decide".

The Trustees wish to announce a change in funding policy. We will no longer normally fund postgraduate studentships for three and a half years. We will, however, continue to provide funds to support

1. postgraduate students in their fourth year whose main grant only covers three years,
2. postgraduate students whose progress has been affected by illness or other factors outside their control
3. postgraduate students to attend conferences or to learn techniques at other laboratories.
4. summer research projects for undergraduate students and technical staff.
