Funding to support well-defined collaborative projects across the arts and humanities.
Applications must include a project lead and at least one project co-lead (principal investigators must be of postdoctoral standing and actively engaged in postdoctoral research). Each team member must contribute to:
- The development of the research grant application.
- Project leadership and management.
- Joint publication of authored research.
International researchers are encouraged to participate as project co-leads.
Collaborations can involve:
- A single institution or a combination of institutions.
- Researchers working in different research areas.
- Disciplines within the arts and humanities, or between an arts and humanities discipline and another subject area. In such collaborations the arts and humanities element of the project should lead in shaping the research questions, methods and so on.
- Researchers working in other sectors.
- Researchers based abroad.
You may also include elements of individual research if you can show how this will add value.
Projects should aim to:
- Enable arts and humanities researchers to establish or enhance effective working relationships with fellow researchers (both within and beyond the arts and humanities, and within and beyond the UK), as well as practitioners, and the wide range of individuals and organisations who may benefit from their research.
- Provide opportunities for less experienced researchers to develop their expertise and their careers by working collaboratively with senior researchers on well-defined projects and by leading projects themselves.
- Maximise the value of research outcomes by promoting their communication and dissemination with individuals and organisations outside academia and, where appropriate, to facilitate the knowledge transfer of those outcomes to both the research community and other contexts where they will make a difference.
