This Handbook is a guide to financial and professional resources for researchers, lecturers, and postgraduate students in institutions of higher learning. The major purpose is to acquaint users with organisations all over the world which provide grants and financial support for empirical research. A second purpose is to bring to the awareness of users professional organisations in their fields of specialisation to which they can belong. The aim of this is to help researchers at Babcock University and elsewhere to keep abreast of developments in their fields and to encourage them to network with colleagues.
