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 program aims to enable arts and humanities researchers to establish or enhance effective working relationships with fellow researchers both within and beyond the arts and humanities, and within and beyond the UK, as well as practitioners and organizations who may benefit from their research. Applications must include a project lead and at least one project co-lead jointly involved in the development and management of the project and co-authored research outputs. The funding supports projects with full economic costs between £300,000 and £1.5 million, with AHRC funding 80% of FEC. Awards can last up to five years and must be based at UK research organizations eligible for AHRC funding. The program provides opportunities for less experienced researchers to develop their expertise and careers by working collaboratively with senior researchers on well-defined projects and by leading projects themselves. Projects should maximize the value of research outcomes by promoting their communication and dissemination with individuals and organizations outside academia.
