Internal approval process for bids

If you are thinking of applying for ANY external funding - whether for research, enterprise, teaching or any other activity - you need to let the University know and receive the relevant approvals. Depending on the circumstances, this may take a few weeks. There is a new page on the intranet which outlines the processes with an explanation of which form to use for each type of funding. This can be found at: http://intranet.open.ac.uk/developmentoffice/project-funding/

If you are a member of the Arts Faculty, please notify the Research and Enterprise Team at Arts-REST of any planned funding bids or negotiations.

Royal Historical Society Small Research Grants for Postgraduates

Royal Historical Society awards are intended principally for postgraduate students registered for a research degree at United Kingdom institutions of higher education (full-time and part-time); the Society will also consider applications from individuals who have completed doctoral dissertations within the last two years and are not yet in full-time employment.

Grants of between £75 - £500 are offered under four schemes:
  • for individual travel to conferences
  • for research expenses within the United Kingdom
  • for research expenses outside the United Kingdom
  • for organisers of workshops and conferences to encourage the participation of junior researchers
The average grant is for a sum of £250, and priority will be given to new applicants. All applicants, however, are expected to seek funding from their own institutions in the first instance. Please note that grants cannot be sought retrospectively.

The closing dates for applications in the year 2009 are:
for individual travel to conferences; research expenses within and outside the UK:
  • 27 April 2009
  • 19 June 2009
  • 14 September 2009
  • 16 November 2009
for organisers of workshops and conferences to encourage the participation of junior researchers:
  • 27 April 2009
  • 16 November 2009
