Overview

Social Science Small Grants Scheme

This Scheme makes small grants for social science research expenses. Awards are normally up to £7,500, although in exceptional circumstances awards may be made of up to a maximum of £12,000. The Scheme has no closing date. Applicants must be resident and working at a UK institution, although the research may be undertaken outside the UK.

The Scheme has three priorities for funding:

• projects that develop social science research capacity particularly by supporting the work of those new to social science research;

• self-contained or pilot or preliminary projects that address the wider objects of the Foundation, namely a broad concern with the 'advancement of social well-being';

• outstanding small projects in the social sciences.
