The Partnership Grants scheme offers up to £3000 to UK schools or colleges to buy equipment to run a STEM research project in partnership with a STEM professional (research or industry).

Since it started in November 2000, the Partnership Grants scheme has awarded over £1.6 million to over 900 schools and colleges, igniting enthusiasm for STEM in thousands of young people across the UK. Since 2010, 88% of awarded Partnership Grants partners reported that they would apply again.

The 2017 winter round of Partnership Grants is now open for applications until 30 January 2017. Further information, including case studies and advice on applying, can be found on the Partnership Grants webpages and in a series of five short YouTube videos:

• How to do research in schools with Partnership Grants
• Partnership Grants case study  – what causes epigenetics?
• Partnership Grants case study – how to predict the weather?
• Partnership Grants case study – what are meteors made of?
• How to apply for a Partnership Grant?

All of the videos can be seen on the relevant parts of the Partnership Grants webpages and on the playlist, What are Partnership Grants?, on the Royal Society YouTube channel.
