British Academy / Leverhulme Trust Small Research Grants

Funder deadline: 5th June 2019

Grants are available to support primary research in the Humanities and Social Sciences, to facilitate initial project planning and development, to support the direct costs of research through workshops or conferences, or by visits by or to partner scholars. - the maximum grant is £10,000 over two years for a clearly defined piece of research.

Level of award
Up to £10,000.

Please note that the funding provided through the Small Research Grants scheme cannot be used to cover the cost of replacement teaching, payment in lieu of salary or computer kit and that the scheme is not covered within the FEC regime – the £10,000 are available to the award-holder only for direct research expenses.

Eligibility
Awards are open to postdoctoral scholars (or equivalent) who are ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom. Applications require the approval of the applicant's employing institution, but are not limited to those of any particular status (e.g. Lecturer, Professor etc). Application may be made by independent scholars (who should choose 'independent scholar' as the relevant choice from the list of organisations in Flexi-Grant). Co-applicants may be from anywhere in the world, but the Principal Applicant must be ordinarily resident in the UK.

Period of award
Grants are tenable for between 1 and 24 months.
