Description
1) Objective
Recognising the fast-moving nature of many of the challenges facing low or middle income countries (LMICs), the AHRC has launched this scheme to provide an accelerated funding outlet for urgent arts and humanities research priorities. Funded as a part of the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF), it is an open, responsive mechanism through which arts and humanities researchers (working with other disciplines where appropriate) can respond to unanticipated urgent research needs, including (but not limited to) disasters, humanitarian emergencies, rapid radical political or economic change, changes to conflicts, major displacements of populations etc., or unanticipated time-limited opportunities for research to contribute to international development policy or practice.
Eligible projects must be fully compliant with the requirements of Official Development Assistance (ODA), addressing a development need or challenge with the potential to support low or middle income countries meet the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In addition, applications must demonstrate the case for urgency, explaining why there is a need for arts and humanities research to be conducted within specified time constraints that cannot be supported through other funding routes.
2) Eligibility
Researchers can apply.
3) Location
Actions can take place in developing countries.
4) Budget
Applications for full economic costs up to £150,000 for a period of up to 18 months may be submitted at any time during the period of the pilot scheme. Applicants interested in applying should first submit an expression of interest to the AHRC at the earliest opportunity following the emergence of the urgency need or context. If the expression of interest is considered to fall within the scope of the scheme, applicants will then be invited to submit a full application through Je-S for consideration through an accelerated peer review process.
5) Application
This Pilot Scheme will close to new expressions of interest at 1600 hours on 31 January 2021 after which AHRC will review the pilot and consider extending or revising the scheme. Applicants interested in applying should first submit an expression of interest to the AHRC (see link below) at the earliest opportunity following the emergence of the urgency need. The AHRC will aim to provide eligibility decisions within five working days of receipt. If the expression of interest is considered to fall within the scope of the scheme, applicants will then be invited to submit a full application via Je-S for consideration through an accelerated peer-review process.
