AHRC responsive mode: standard research grant

The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) standard research grant provides funding to support well-defined collaborative research projects across the arts and humanities. The funding is designed to enable researchers to establish or enhance effective working relationships with fellow researchers both within and beyond the arts and humanities, provide opportunities for less experienced researchers to develop their expertise by working collaboratively with senior researchers, and maximize the value of research outcomes by promoting their communication and dissemination. Applications must include a project lead and at least one project co-lead who are jointly involved in the development and management of the project and co-authored research outputs. Applicants must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for AHRC funding. The full economic cost (FEC) of projects can range between £300,000 and £1.5 million, with AHRC funding 80% of the FEC. Projects can last up to five years and must start at least nine months after the application submission date.
