The fixed funding is available to cover costs involved in the research, such as staff or volunteer time to arrange cookery course participants to attend a focus group or/and one-to-one interviews with researchers, and venue hire or crèche costs (if required). Each applicant must be able to involve 10 participants (from one or more of the same course(s) in research activities. They must also have evaluated the course(s) and be able to provide evaluation materials to researchers.
