On the advice of the philosophical breakfast club, the British Association began to use the extra money generated by its meetings to give grants for research in astronomy, the tides, fossil fish, shipbuilding, and many other areas.
Prema savjetu Kluba filozofskog doručka, Britanska udruga počela je koristiti dodatne prihode ostvarene kroz sastanke,  za podupiranje istraživanja u astronomiji, istraživanja morskih mijena i ribljih okamina, istraživanja u brodogradnji,  i u mnogim drugim područjima.
