AIA Research Grants

The Association for Industrial Archaeology (AIA) offers research grants to promote the study, preservation and presentation of industrial archaeology and heritage. The research grant scheme underpins the study aim of the Association by encouraging individual researchers to study industrial archaeology subjects, encouraging the development of industrial archaeology skills within commercial units, supporting local industrial archaeology and industrial heritage societies in exploring and understanding their local areas, and helping to develop the next generation of industrial archaeologists. The total fund available in any single year is £1,500 and multiple grants may be given up to this maximum in a single year. The AIA may consider part-funding a wider grant application or project as long as the AIA grant is a significant part of the larger application or project.
