The IAAI has a long history of philanthropy including the sponsorship of academic scholarships and the awarding of grants for the purposes of conducting research and the development of academic and professional development programs.  As the 67th Chapter of the IAAI the UK-AFI Board have developed the following Bursaries and Grants for UK-AFI members.

 

Research Bursary

The Research and Academic Development Grant Program is aimed to provide UK-AFI members with financial assistance, up to a maximum value of £2000 per annum, in support of research and study of fire investigation related work or projects. The UK-AFI Research and Academic Development Grant Program is open to members of the UK-AFI, who are actively involved in the support and/or training of fire investigators or planning to conduct testing and/or research in areas and fields germane to fire investigation.
  
To be eligible for consideration, all applicants must be fully paid members of the UK-AFI for a minimum period of 2 years.

The UK-AFI Research and Academic Development Grant Program is designed to support the development of its members by providing financial support to professionals who are members of the UK-AFI for the purpose of encouraging testing and research in subject areas germane to the field of fire investigation.

UK-AFI Members IAAI-CFI/FIT Support Scheme

The UK-AFI Members IAAI-CFI/FIT Support Scheme is designed to support the development of its members by providing financial support to professionals who are members of the UK-AFI and IAAI for the purpose of increasing their knowledge and understanding of Fire Investigation.

The UK-AFI Members IAAI-CFI/FIT Support Scheme is also aimed at promoting the credibility and value of the IAAI-CFI and IAAI-FIT here in the United Kingdom. It is the UK-AFI’s ambition to increase the number of members with the IAAI-CFI certification and IAAI-FIT designation, so that the IAAI-CFI certification and IAAI-FIT designation can be considered for recognition and accepted as in alignment with the United Kingdom National Occupational Standards for fire and explosion investigation.

To be eligible for consideration, all applicants must be fully paid members of the UK-AFI for a minimum period of 2 years and members of the IAAI.

UK-AFI ITC Attendance Grant

The UK-AFI as part of the IAAI, it supports the training and development of its members to increase their knowledge. The UK-AFI aims to provide one member per year with financial assistance, covering the conference and hotel fee of the IAAI International Training Conference (ITC), to support the training of our members beyond that supplied within the UK. The UK-AFI ITC attendance grant is not designed to cover all of the costs of attendance, but rather to offset specific costs, which would afford applicants a greater opportunity to attending the ITC.

The UK-AFI ITC attendance grant is open for applicants who have been members of the UK-AFI for a minimum period of two years and have not attended the ITC for the preceding ten years. The applicant must also be a member of the IAAI.

A successful applicant is then not eligible to apply for the grant for the following ten years. An applicant will not be eligible if they have also received the UK-AFI research grant in the same year. Serving members of the UK-AFI Executive Committee will not be eligible to apply for this grant.
