Are you an Early Career Researcher* (ECR) working at the intersection of the Arts,
Humanities, and Health? Do you have an idea for an event or small project where you
need funding to get it off the ground?
We are offering three £800 grants for ECRs based in the UK and three CAD$ 1,000 grants for
those based in Canada to support you to get your ideas off the ground. The funding forms part of
a grant awarded to University College London and the University of Toronto. The aim of the
scheme is to support the ECR career development of those working at the intersection of the arts,
humanities and health across three strands:
1) CAPACITY. Support with skills development to enable ECRs to deliver timely research.
2) CONNECT. Bring together ECRs to connect over shared research priorities, engage in
reflective dialogues, and build networks.
3) COLLABORATE. Facilitate collaboration to address cross-cutting research gaps.
Your idea may meet one or more of these aims.
Ideas of what we might fund include, but are not limited to:
A networking or social event to bring ECRs together who have shared research interests
- A training or knowledge-exchange event to share innovative methods or interdisciplinary
ways of working - A ‘sandpit’ event to gather ECRs together to formulate ideas for a future research project
- Time for you and other ECRs to write a funding application together to apply for funding
(e.g., research funding, development money) - A writing retreat for you and other ECRs to support you to collaborate on journal articles
or other publications
