The Bill Pettit Memorial Award is available to NatSCA members and supports conservation, access and use of natural science collections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Charles Arthur William \u2018Bill\u2019 Pettit (1937-2009) started his career with the National Institute of Oceanography but moved to the Manchester Museum in 1975 to become Assistant Keeper of Zoology. In his time at Manchester, Bill worked tirelessly for the collections and was instrumental in projects such as FENSCORE as well as numerous publications. It is in recognition of his commitment to natural science collections that we would like to offer this award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Projects are assessed against NatSCA\u2019s mission and are scored against: conservation of collections, collections access, collections use and timescales and costs. We look for innovative projects that can be delivered on time and budget, leaving a tangible legacy. Each project will be considered on its own merits by the NatSCA committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grants are awarded most years and funding available depends on the charity\u2019s reserves for that year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
