British Academy Wolfson Research Professorships

Details from November 2016 deadline

Awards designed to give an opportunity for extended research leave to a small number of the most outstanding established scholars to enable them to concentrate on a significant research programme, while freed from normal teaching and administrative commitments. Awards will be made for £150,000 over 3 years.

Award value:

Awards are for £150,000 over 3 years (£50,000/year) and it is expected that funds will be used for teaching replacement with the remaining funds used for research expenses.

Read the full scheme details on the British Academy's website.

Rather, in all cases, award-holders are expected to be established scholars with a significant track record of publication. Any field of study in the humanities and social sciences is suitable for support.
