Joint Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê/National Trust partnership Small Grants Scheme Call

The Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Centre for Critical Heritage Studies invites applications from Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Academic, Research and Teaching staff, postdoctoral staff, Honorary Associates and PhD students to its Small Grants Scheme
The scheme funds projects that lead to or support collaborative research between Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê and the National Trust on critical heritage studies as part of the newly launched Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê/National Trust partnership. Funding of up to £2000 per application is available per project. In very exceptional circumstances we may consider applications up to £4000. There is no minimum limit for awards.Â
We particularly invite proposals that:
- involve collaboration between staff based in different Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê departments, and/or utilise cross-disciplinary approaches
- aim to achieve research impact (through scholarly output, public engagement, influence on policy and practice, knowledge transfer or similar)
- aim to prepare the ground for new, extended research projects (including grant applications).
Typical projects eligible for funding include:
- hosting a research conference, a seminar, workshop, or symposium;
- public engagement activities and collaborations with external non-academic institutions;
- costs associated with a specific project, e.g. research assistant time (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê HEFCE staff costs/salaries are not eligible);
- costs associated with a pilot study or the preparation of an application for the funding of a major research project, e.g. travel to meet with potential partners at other institutions.
Completed applications, using the application form available on the , should be returned to criticalheritage@ucl.ac.uk by 17 September 2021.
