British Academy Additional Needs Funding Pot

 

The British Academy is introducing a new initiative to support researchers with additional needs. We are inviting current and new award holders who would like to apply for additional funding to support their award or applications.

 

Aims

The British Academy has set aside specific funding to support any additional needs that applicants and award holders may require. This funding would be in addition to the amount already requested for research expenses. The British Academy is keen to be as inclusive as possible in supporting applicants and award holders with any special needs in order to facilitate the best possible research.

 

Eligibility requirements

This funding pot is available for both current award holders and applicants who would like to apply for an award, but need support with submitting their application. Although applications will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, the applicant must meet the following criteria:

 

• The applicant must be a current award holder on any British Academy scheme OR intending to apply for a British Academy award in the next six months.
• If the applicant is not a current award holder, they must identify the scheme to which they intend to apply, and for which they need additional support. The applicant must meet the eligibility requirements for the scheme they intend to apply for.
• If the applicant is a current award holder, the funds can only be used during the remaining time of the award.

 

In all cases, the Academy will need a case to be set out requesting this support, including a brief explanation as to why these needs cannot be met by the applicant’s employing or host university or research organisation.

 

Application process

Applications must be submitted online using the British Academy’s Grant Management System (GMS), Flexi-Grant®.

 

Applications will be open from 16 February 2023. This will be a rolling funding call with no deadline, but we recommend applying as soon as you are able to.
