UK-IE DHA – Pilot small grants scheme briefing session
We will be holding a briefing session for our pilot small grants scheme on the 18 May between 11.00 & 12.00 (GMT). The session will be hosted by Prof. Jane Winters and Dr. Valentina Vavassori, who will highlight the types of projects we’re looking for and the application criteria. Please come with your questions and ideas!
The scheme is aimed at early career researchers and practitioners based in the UK and/or Ireland, including independent researchers. Applicants may include collaborators or partners based elsewhere, but the lead applicant must be from Ireland or the UK.
We define early career as:
- Individuals within eight years of receiving their PhD, or equivalent professional training (e.g. an Archives and Records Association or CILIP accredited course or apprenticeship), or
- Individuals within six years of their first academic or professional appointment.
These timeframes exclude any periods of career break. A career break is defined as an extended period during which you have not been actively engaged in scholarly research, teaching, or a GLAM-sector role. This may be due to caring responsibilities, parental leave, health reasons, or other circumstances not listed.
What the grant can support
The grant can be used flexibly to support activities such as:
- Research assistance
- Travel and accommodation
- Mentoring or guidance
- Caring costs
- Other costs clearly justified by the project
