The scheme funds projects that lead to or support collaborative research between Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø and the National Trust on critical heritage studies as part of the newly launched Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø/National Trust partnership. Funding of up to £2000 per application is available per project. In very exceptional circumstances we may consider applications up to £4000. There is no minimum limit for awards. 

We particularly invite proposals that:

• involve collaboration between staff based in different Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø departments, and/or utilise cross-disciplinary approaches
• aim to achieve research impact (through scholarly output, public engagement, influence on policy and practice, knowledge transfer or similar)
• aim to prepare the ground for new, extended research projects (including grant applications).

Typical projects eligible for funding include:

• hosting a research conference, a seminar, workshop, or symposium;
• public engagement activities and collaborations with external non-academic institutions;
• costs associated with a specific project, e.g. research assistant time (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø HEFCE staff costs/salaries are not eligible);
• costs associated with a pilot study or the preparation of an application for the funding of a major research project, e.g. travel to meet with potential partners at other institutions.
