The Leverhulme Trust invites proposals for its research grants. These are primarily intended to provide the salary costs of one or more researchers working on a specific and discrete project proposed by the applicant. Postgraduate studentships may also be linked to the project.
The trust supports research on any topic within the entire array of academic disciplines. However, exception is made for areas of research supported by specialist funding agencies and, in particular, for medicine.
The great majority of awards involve a spend of up to £250,000 over a duration of two to three years. If compelling evidence is provided, awards may be made for sums between £250,000 and £500,000 for research over a period of up to five years’.
Applicants should be based at higher and further education institutions or registered charities in the UK or at similar institutions and organisations in developing countries.
Deadline: outline applications are accepted at any time; invited full applications 1 September and 1 December 2008
