Guide for referees

Some grants have specific questions we ask of referees and requirements of who should act as a referee. Please refer to individual grant pages for more information:

  • Geographical Fieldwork Grants

  • Fieldwork Apprenticeships

  • Slawson Awards

  • Innovative Geography Teaching Grants 

  • 30th International Geographical Congress (conference travel) Award)

 

We would be grateful if you could write a reference providing a critical evaluation of:

  • The proposed project’s strengths in terms of viability, originality and likely contribution to geographical knowledge.

  • The applicant’s ability to complete the programme of work safely and responsibly within the time and budget proposed.

  • Any additional information that you feel might help the Selection Panel.

 

Your reference will be one of the key factors in assessing the applicant’s suitability for a grant.

Please submit your signed reference statement on letter headed paper to the Grants Officer at grants@rgs.org by the deadline specified for the grant. 

Your reference will be acknowledged by email and we thank you in advance for your assistance.
