About the grant

Apply for funding to bring the public into dialogue about the future of health and social care. We are looking for researchers that will work with the public to contribute in imaginative ways to activities and conversations that will help shape future debate and decision-making about the future of health, ageing and wellbeing over the next 25 years.

You must be based at a UK-based research organisation that is eligible to receive funding from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) to apply. We welcome interdisciplinary applications, though your research must be rooted in the arts and humanities.

The full economic cost of your project can be up to £40,000. AHRC will fund 100% of the full economic cost.

Projects can be delivered at any time between June 2023 and March 2024.

Who can apply

To apply for this public engagement fund, you must be:

  • a UK resident
  • over the age of 18
  • currently working or studying at doctoral level or higher at a UK research organisation that is described as eligible to receive funding from UKRI in section two of the AHRC research funding guide
  • working in a relevant area of research in or related to the arts and humanities
  • proposing activity that will take place between June 2023 and March 2024.

We require that applicants have plans that are adaptable and workable in the face of any potential COVID-19-related restrictions. Applicants must consider safe, accessible and inclusive activity and are encouraged to consider how they might adapt their activity to potential restrictions (for example, social distancing or the need to use digital methods).

We encourage applications that engage in interdisciplinary research and collaborate outside of arts and humanities. However, your application must address the themes and focus of this opportunity, which are primarily rooted in the arts and humanities.

We encourage applicants from a diverse range of:

  • backgrounds
  • experiences
  • expertise
  • career stages.Who can apply
