About the Organization

The British Academy is the UK’s national academy for the humanities and social sciences. We mobilise these disciplines to understand the world and shape a brighter future. ​

From artificial intelligence to climate change, from building prosperity to improving well-being – today’s complex challenges can only be resolved by deepening our insight into people, cultures and societies. We invest in researchers and projects across the UK and overseas, engage the public with fresh thinking and debates, and bring together scholars, government, business and civil society to influence policy for the benefit of everyone.

About the Grant

By far the British Academy’s most popular scheme in terms of applications received and number of awards made, the BA/Leverhulme Small Research Grants stand as one of the Academy’s highest profile programmes with awards made to academics working at around 100 Institutions around the UK.

These awards, up to £10,000 in value and tenable for up to 24 months, are provided to cover the cost of the expenses arising from a defined research project.

Funded as a public-private partnership, including the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT),  Leverhulme Trust, Wellcome Trust and a number of Special Funds including British Accountancy and Finance Association, EY, Honor Frost Foundation, Journal of Moral Education Trust, Philosophy of Education Society of Great Britain, Sino-British Fellowship Trust, and  Society for the Advancement of Management Studies. (Please note that all applications are considered on their merits equally, and applicants will automatically be considered for funding either from the public funding or the Leverhulme Trust funding - or a Special Fund if applicable.)

Eligibility

Awards are open to postdoctoral scholars (or equivalent) who are ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom. Applications require the approval of the applicant's employing institution, but are not limited to those of any particular status (e.g. Lecturer, Professor etc). Application may be made by independent scholars (who should choose 'independent scholar' as the relevant choice from the list of organisations in Flexi-Grant). Co-applicants may be from anywhere in the world, but the Principal Applicant must be ordinarily resident in the UK.
