Professor Sir Leszek Borysiewicz
Following the termination by the British Academy and ESRC of their respective Small Grants schemes, the Vice-Chancellor has moved quickly to fill the void left by their withdrawal.
探花直播BA and ESRC schemes were of great importance to researchers in the arts, humanities and social sciences, particularly in creating opportunities for experimentation, and as a crucial means of career building for early career scholars.
探花直播new fund will help offset the impact of their withdrawal and make it possible for academics in the arts, humanities and social sciences to undertake research, including pilot or experimental work in preparation for larger-scale activities.
To that end, 拢300,000 will be made available as a single fund at the disposal of the School of Arts and Humanities and the School of the Humanities and Social Sciences. If the Scheme is successful it may be repeated.
探花直播Schools have decided to use this funding to operate a Cambridge Humanities Research Grants Scheme, open to all 探花直播 Teaching Officers and College Teaching Officers in the arts, humanities and social sciences with a contract of employment at the point of application. Details of the funding available and the application process will be made available online. Bids are invited for awards between 拢1,000 and 拢20,000 in value.
探花直播overriding factor in determining awards will be the quality of research. In addition, it is important that the funding delivers maximum strategic benefit to Departments, whether in terms of furthering specific research objectives, developing capacity or strengthening research excellence.

探花直播deadline for the initial round of funding bids is September 16, 2011.
