Current Calls for Proposals
SCIENCE AND HERITAGE PROGRAMME CALL FOR POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS
As part of the Science and Heritage programme, AHRC and EPSRC are offering Post-doctoral Fellowships to enable outstanding early career researchers to establish independent research careers in heritage science.
Potential candidates should have up to, but no more than the equivalent of five years’ post-doctoral experience. The fellowships will be for a duration of three years full time (up to 5 years part time) and will primarily cover the salary costs of the Fellow, travel and subsistence and consumables.
Funding is available to support between four and six Post-doctoral Fellowships.
The closing date for the Post-doctoral Fellowships competition is Thursday 10th September 2009.
The full details of the Call are available to download below. Previous Calls for Proposals
SCIENCE AND HERITAGE PROGRAMME CALL FOR RESEARCH CLUSTER PROPOSALS
AHRC and EPSRC have announced a Call for Research Clusters under their jointly funded Science and Heritage Programme, by making funding available to support cross-disciplinary network activities. AHRC will be administering this call on behalf of the AHRC and EPSRC.
The call for proposals within the Programme aims to support innovative cross-sector and interdisciplinary networking activities, falling within research ‘clusters’. Proposals with full economic costs of up to £30,000 and lasting for a period of between 4 and 12 months may be submitted. It is expected that the Programme will fund around 10 clusters through this Call. Proposals are sought that explore ideas from one of the following six themes which are expected to be studied further during the period of the award. The themes are:
Proposals must be submitted through the cross-council Joint Electronic Submission (Je-S) System. Please note that in order to coordinate the work of the Research Clusters, all awards must have a start date between 1 December 2008 and 31 March 2009. The closing date for the receipt of proposals is 4pm on Thursday 4th September 2008. Copies of the Research Clusters specification and details of the Call can be downloaded at the bottom of this page and a copy of the AHRC research funding guide can be found on the AHRC website.
AHRC/EPSRC COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH STUDENTSHIPS IN SCIENCE AND HERITAGE
AHRC and EPSRC are jointly offering around 10 Collaborative Research Studentships in the area of science and heritage.
The aim of these awards (known as CASE by some Research Councils) is to promote partnerships and research collaboration between academia and other bodies. The awards will offer doctoral students the chance to conduct their research in collaboration with a non-academic body, and to gain experience of work outside the academic sphere.
The closing date for this competition is 16.00 on Thursday 6th December 2007.
We recommend that you read the Details of the Call document before starting to prepare your proposal. These can be found at:

SCIENCE AND HERITAGE PROGRAMME CALL FOR INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH GRANTS
Funding for between five and eight Interdisciplinary Research Grant proposals (depending on value and quality) is now available from the AHRC/EPSRC Science and Heritage Programme to support creative, cross-disciplinary research activities.
Each project will have a maximum full economic cost of £800,000, and a duration of 1 to 3 years. Proposals for 3 year grants may propose a maximum of three studentships in association with the project.
Proposals will need to be submitted by an eligible Research Organisation, but must involve collaboration with at least one other organisation. Priority will be given to proposals which involve a wide range of organisations, including higher education institutions, heritage organisations, museums, galleries, libraries and archives, practitioner communities, commerce and industry either within or outside the UK. Priority will also be given to outline proposals which involve people and disciplines from the remits of both AHRC and EPSRC, offering a diversity of expertise and experience.
The Interdisciplinary Research Grants competition will be conducted in 2 stages:
The earliest start date for projects will be 1st April 2010.
