Postgraduate Publications Award (PPA) Round 4/2009The Postgraduate Publications Awards scheme is designed to encourage research degree candidates to disseminate their research findings to a wider public through publication in professional journals or books. The scheme provides a modest income, equivalent to the APA rate, to authors during the preparation of articles and books, that are based on their theses submitted for a research degree. The scheme aims to discourage delays in thesis completion that may arise when research students take time out during their candidature to prepare papers for publication. The Postgraduate Publications Award provides support for students who, having submitted their thesis, wish to write up some of their research for publication while they await the result of their examination. Thus the award is explicitly targeted at research degree candidates whose thesis is under examination. Accordingly, it is not intended to provide financial support to students who have not yet submitted their thesis or to former students whose thesis has been accepted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the research degree. Eligibility Postgraduate research students, who have submitted, or are about to submit, their thesis. Eligible candidates are required to apply in the selection round which coincides with the submission date of their thesis. There are 4 selection rounds per year, which close on 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December. For each of the four selection rounds, the eligible thesis submission date lies within the three-months interval that begins one month before the closing date and ends two months after the closing date of the round: For application procedures, eligibility and conditions of award, please refer to: Arun Kumar Senior Research Awards Officer 11.
