The British Academy invites applications for the BA/Leverhulme Small Research Grants for Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences in the UK for the 2023/24 academic year.
The BA/Leverhulme Small Research Grants are available to support primary research in the humanities and social sciences.
Worth of Award
- These awards, up to £10,000 in value and tenable for up to 24 months, are provided to cover the cost of the expenses arising from a defined research project.
- 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.
How to Apply
- All applications should demonstrate that Academy funds are sought for a clearly defined, discrete piece of research.
- This will have an identifiable outcome on completion of the Academy-funded component of the research.
Deadline: May 31, 2023 – 17:00 BST.
