The British Academy Small Grants call was announced on September 4 and has a closing date of October 16. Our academics are always attracted to this call, but our success rate is not good; in the last round of calls BU submitted seven and none were funded.
With this in mind we want to encourage you to use the RPRS to help improve your submission (the deadline to get this to me would be next week) or if you are interested in making an application to this call, to utilise all of our wonderful grant craftsmanship resources (such as the Grants Academy and our training sessions) and the RPRS to get your application perfected for the next round of calls in April 2014.
If you do want to submit to this round, a gentle reminder that as this is requires Institutional Approval, the final deadline to submit to R&KEO is October 10th.
This isn’t quite accurate. I won a BA small grant last year. See http://blogs.bournemouth.ac.uk/research/?s=nordberg
Hi Donald,
Many thanks for your comment and well done on your success again. Your success was not in the last round of calls (deadline April 2013), but in the one previous (deadline Oct 12). In the round you submitted to we also made seven applications and yours was the only successful one, which further evidences what a fantastic bid it was!
best wishes
