Funding

The MHRA provides financial support to the academic community in the following ways:

Research Associateships

These awards are made to established corporate projects rather than individuals, and are designed to hasten completion of a project through the provision of part-time research assistance.*

The awards will normally be for one year only, but applications will be considered from projects that have previously held an Associateship.

One aim of the awards is to provide an interim academic position to scholars who have not yet obtained a permanent academic post. The importance of this aspect of the position is highlighted by the fact that in recent years the tenure of an Associateship has frequently assisted the holder to obtain a permanent university lectureship soon afterwards.

The Association intends to make up to four research awards of £17,500 for the academic session 2010-2011. The closing date for applications is 31 January 2010.

Conference Grant Fund

The MHRA intends to make up to five grants of up to £1,500 each to support conferences or colloquia within the field of medieval and modern European languages and literatures (including English) planned for the academic session 2010-11 and held in the United Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland. The closing date for applications is 31 January 2010.

These awards will not be made to individuals to attend conferences, but to the organizers of conferences to provide assistance with organizational support and/or the travel and subsistence costs of certain participants, including postgraduate students.

Publications Fund

The MHRA invites applications for financial assistance towards the costs of publishing scholarly works in the field of the medieval and modern European literatures and languages (including English) which, by their nature, could not expect to be financially self-supporting.
