British Academy Research Development Awards (BARDAs)

Deadline to notify REST of intention to bid: 23 October 2009
Faculty deadline to complete application form: 27 November 2009

The British Academy launched its new online electronic grant administration processing system, e-GAP2, on 20 August 2009. If you are thinking of applying to one of the research grant programmes it is worth learning about e-GAP2 (see: http://royalsociety.org/page.asp?id=1136) and you can register as a user as soon as the call opens so that you can see what is required for the application.

BARDAs are offered for established UK-based scholars to develop a significant collaborative or individual research project, providing a flexible package of support, including research leave, research expenses, workshops and visits by or to partner scholars. Awards are offered on an FEC basis, up to £150,000 (of which the BA meets 80%). Priority is given to applicants who have at least five years postdoctoral experience.
  • Annual competition (two-stage process)
  • Applications available from: 2 November 2009. It will not be possible to access application forms before these dates. Paper-based applications will not be accepted.
