List of Research Fund Grants

This list of grants is taken from historical data and might have some slight inaccuracies including mis-classification of the subject areas. It is, at the time of writing (November 2020), a "work in progress". The list includes grants made under the CSTRF (Cave Science and Technology Research Fund) and CSTRI (Cave Science and Technology Research Initiative) operations, but it does not cover earlier grants made under the BCRA Research Fund or Jeff Jefferson Fund operations.

Table of Awards

To download this table as tab-separated data that you can paste into Word or Excel, Click Here. This will save the file, on your PC, as a plain text file with the columns separated with tab characters. You should be able to drag the file into Excel, and it should open correctly, in columns. In Word, you will need to select the dragged/pasted text and ask Word to "Convert text to table".

Key to publications column: indicates a link to a BCRA publication. Hover over the icon (or tap and hold on a touchscreen) to see the DOI and page number. HE — report given at Hidden Earth. Other — report in an external journal. TBE Publication Data To Be Entered.

Note: some experimental code is being tested on this page, so you might see the occasional "debug" or "development" message.

To do: Add missing DOIs from master spreadsheet. Also add the narrative descriptions of publications; possibly as a contextmenu override.
