Applications should be made through the Royal Society’s grant management system Flexi-Grant®.
Please refer to the scheme notes (PDF) for further details.
Am I eligible to apply?
Applicants must be either:
- Researchers in early career research positions at universities and other eligible organisations (eg museums, galleries). Typically applicants need to be within ten years of completing their PhD. Applications from researchers having completed a PhD more than ten years ago will also be considered if currently in an early career position after a career break (see scheme notes (PDF) for details). The applicant must hold a permanent or fixed term contract in an eligible organisation for the duration of the award; or
- Doctoral candidates with at least one year’s experience towards thesis stage.
PhD students are encouraged to apply, but are advised to begin with smaller, exploratory visit travel grants (see below), before submitting a larger proposal especially if their research is at an early stage of development.
All activities must be on a subject combining the humanities and the natural sciences. This includes, but is not limited to: intellectual history, cultural history, history of science, philosophy of science, history of art, and historical geography. The scheme places special emphasis on Early Modern science and European networks of the period.
UK and international applications are welcomed. Scholars based in non-UK organisations are required to incorporate research at The Royal Society as part of any proposal.
Both UK and international applicants applying for subsistence grants for extended research trips (1-3 months) must incorporate research at the Royal Society collections as part of their proposal.
Before applying please make sure that you meet the full eligibility requirements explained more fully in the scheme notes (PDF).
