BFSA opens applications for grants

The British Foundation for the Study of Arabia (BFSA) has announced that applications for grants intended to support research in any academic area covered by the BFSA’s aims will be accepted to April 2016.

The BFSA promotes research relating to the Arabian Peninsula, in particular, its archaeology, art, culture, epigraphy, ethnography, geography, geology, history, languages, literature and natural history. Grants may be used to fund fieldwork, library or laboratory-based research or research support.

Applications must be linked to clear and achievable plans for immediate publication.

The number of awards made each year will depend on the strength of applications. Main Research Grants (for post-doctoral research) are worth up to £4,000 and Small Research Grants (for all categories of researchers), up to £1,000. It is expected that grants of a combined value of up to about £8,000 will normally be awarded each year.

The application deadline is 15 April 2016, and awards will be announced by the end of May 2016.
