RTSG uplift scheme – 2025/26

Given significant increase in costs due to inflation over the last year, ACCE DTP are pleased to announce that a final application scheme is available for students in the above cohorts to apply for additional RTSG costs if required, to help to mitigate against recent increases in UK inflation. Students can apply for up to £800 to cover additional RTSG costs where previously planned expenditure has increased, due to cost rises (please note that we will not accept applications where changes have arisen from the alteration of projects’ research plans). Students may apply via the application form which is to be sent to acce.dtp@liverpool.ac.uk for Management Board consideration.

Students awarded an uplift in the first or second rounds (held in late 2024 and summer 2025) should not apply again at this stage, as the maximum amount available per student is £800.

The closing date for applications to the scheme in 2025/26 is Wednesday 21st January 2026 at 5.00pm.

Please see below for the downloadable application form.
