PATT Travel and Subsistence Reimbursement for Telescope Observation Time

This funding opportunity allows UK-based researchers at eligible institutions to claim reimbursement for travel and subsistence costs when visiting an astronomy telescope to conduct competitively awarded science observations. The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) will cover 100% of the full economic cost of eligible expenses. This scheme supports researchers in accessing world-class observational facilities by removing financial barriers associated with travel and accommodation. Eligible applicants must be based at recognised UK research institutions and have secured competitive observation time through the peer-review process. Claims can be submitted for expenses incurred during approved telescope visits.
