Pioneer Awards

The HaSS Faculty’s Research Institutes (Creative Arts Practice, Humanities and Social Science) invite applications to the Pioneer Awards 22-2023.

Please note that there are two calls (and deadlines) that span the academic year 22-2023.

These Awards offer a uniquely supportive environment where collaborative and interdisciplinary projects are specifically encouraged. They offer funding for research projects (including networking and engagement activities).

We invite applications from staff and PGRs from all Faculties. Applications from PGRs must include a named member of academic staff/supervisor who will act as project mentor/approver.

Please note, if your application is successful, you will have 12 months to use the funds allocated in support of your project and in-line with your application.
