British Academy Small Grants – Internal Deadlines

ECR Network, Funding opportunities, Research news, Uncategorized

The call for the next round of BA/Leverhulme Small Research Grants will open on 6 April and close at 5.00 pm on 1 June 2022.

We welcome the new electronic Intention to Bid (e-ITB) forms from Early Career Researchers and/or for bids that deliver pump priming / seed corn funding purposes.

Due to the volume of bids that are received by RDS in every round, the internal deadlines will be strictly applied  to ensure that the pre-award team can provide all interested academics with optimal support in a timely manner.

Where ITB forms are received after 27 April 2022 they will be moved automatically to the next round.

The British Academy has provided guidance and FAQs. They have stipulated that all applicants must read the documentation carefully before starting their application.
