Funding Call \u2013 Innovation Fellowships Scheme<\/h1>\n

Route B: Policy-led (Central Government)<\/h1>\n

2023-24 Competition<\/h1>\n

The British Academy is now inviting applications to the Innovation Fellowships Scheme \u2013 Route B: Policy-led (Central Government), 2023-24 competition. The application form is available online on Flexi-Grant\u00ae, the Academy\u2019s grant management system.<\/p>\n

Aims and purpose of the scheme<\/strong><\/p>\n

The British Academy has been funded by the UK government’s Department for Science, Innovation & Technology (DSIT, formerly known as BEIS) to continue its support for the Innovation Fellowships scheme. The Academy is working on this scheme with other partners, including for this funding call: the Cabinet Office (CO), His Majesty\u2019s Treasury\/the Department for Business and Trade (HMT\/DBT); joint hosts for this scheme, and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).<\/p>\n

This scheme provides funding and support for established early career and mid career researchers in the humanities and social sciences (the SHAPE<\/a> disciplines) to partner with organisations and businesses in the creative and cultural, public, private, commercial, or policy sectors that have a base in the UK, to address challenges that require innovative approaches and solutions that are relevant to the UK. Through the Innovation Fellowships, our researchers in the SHAPE community are supported to create new and deeper links beyond academia, enabling knowledge mobilisation and translation, as well as individual skills development.<\/p>\n

This call will enable researchers to partner with a range of central government departments for 12 months. Successful applicants will work within specific policy areas set out by the departments. These policy areas broadly correlate to the British Academy\u2019s own policy programmes of work<\/a>, which cover similar themes.<\/p>\n

The Academy and the government departments invite applications for Fellowships in any of the following areas:<\/p>\n
