Funding to promote the building of skills and capacities in innovative research methods, whether through skills development, collaboration or dissemination.
Applications are invited from researchers in the Humanities and Social Sciences who wish to experiment with new methods and/or explore new opportunities for skills development and knowledge translation, including in the following core areas:
- Quantitative skills
- Interdisciplinary
- Data science
- Digital humanities

This scheme is designed to benefit the career, skills and talent of award-holders, and by extension, groups within or beyond academia who will also benefit from the sharing of skills and methods. It is also suitable for those wishing to pilot new methods and approaches, and develop partnerships, before applying for larger grants.
Creative and professional practice may play a significant role in shaping the methods and/or outcomes of research.
The maximum grant is £10,000 (to be used 100% for enabling engagement activities to take place and not for time buy-out for the award holder).
