Small Grants & Other Awards /

Small Research Grants

RSE Small Research Grants run over one year. They are designed to encourage innovation and knowledge exchange and to integrate with the overall programme of awards, such that successful applications may lead to future bids for Workshop or Network funding, or act as preliminary investigations for major research grants. Small Research Grants offer an opportunity to scholars in the early stages of their career, part-time academics, and those who have had family career breaks.

“The RSE award has been crucial in funding a research trip and knowledge exchange events that I would not have been able to fund myself. This has been fundamental to developing my post-PhD research.”
