British Academy ECRN Funding Opportunities

We are excited to announce that the funding opportunities from the British Academy Early Career Research Network in the South West are now open! Please see info and links below: 

Seed funding call (NOW OPEN- closing deadline 27 September 2023). We are pleased to announce of the next round of seed funding for ECRs in the South West. The aim of this scheme will be to create and support new cross-sector research partnerships and offer the funding to support ECR career development. These small awards (of up to £3K) will support the direct costs associated with activities that support new research, the development of new stakeholder relationships, broadening knowledge of a sector, future career options or accessing resources and facilities. 

Development fund (rolling call) This fund provides the opportunity for ECRs to hold an event, roundtable, meeting or training activity, which promotes networking, collaboration, knowledge sharing or develops skills throughout the region, and can be extended to the wider ECR network if appropriate. ECRs can claim a total of £3000 towards their activities which will need to be paid for by their institution and then expensed back to the BA. 

Find out more about these opportunities, make new peer connections and develop new collaborative projects at the South West Hub Summit Event in Bath on the 12 September- to book your place on the Summit event click here
