British Academy - Knowledge Frontiers: International Interdisciplinary Research Projects 2024

Faculty EOI: 20 September 2023

Funder Deadline: 1 November 2023

The British Academy invites proposals from UK-based researchers in the humanities and social sciences wishing to develop international interdisciplinary research in the humanities and social sciences. Research may be problem-focused, creatively innovative and exploratory, and should bring together relevant disciplines in both the humanities and social sciences, where appropriate, for maximum impact/effect. The Academy requires all applications to fundamentally involve and integrate both the humanities and the social sciences.

The aim of this call is to support international collaborations between early career researchers in the UK and elsewhere on internationally focused research projects of an interdisciplinary nature involving the humanities AND social sciences. Other than this framing of international interdisciplinary research led by early career researchers, the research itself can be focused on any issue or topic.

Eligibility 
The lead applicant must be a researcher from the humanities and social sciences and be based at an eligible UK university or research institute. The lead applicant must be of postdoctoral or above status (or have equivalent research experience) and be an early career researcher (up to 7 years post-PhD excluding any career breaks). Projects must involve at least one co-applicant based overseas and include a range of humanities and social science disciplines among applicants. 

Value and duration   
Awards of up to £300,000 for 24 months in duration with Full Economic Costing at 80 per cent. Projects must begin in March/April 2024. 

Application process  
Applications must be submitted online using the British Academy's Grant Management System (GMS), Flexi-Grant®.  The deadline for submissions and UK institutional approval is 1 November 2023 (17.00 UK time).
