One of SoBRA’s core objectives is to co-ordinate and encourage research that would benefit land contamination risk assessment. SoBRA currently has three types of funding available to members.
This funding may be awarded to a single research grant application or divided between grant applications based on the number, merit and funding requirements of the applications received. SoBRA will fund up to £25,000 in accordance with our policy, when we hold sufficient reserves. Funding is not available for 2026.

It is expected that the maximum bursary per application will be in the region of £500.
