AHRC Catalyst Award: Accelerating Research Careers
6 days ago
The AHRC Catalyst Award is a funding opportunity designed to support researchers without prior experience of leading a significant research project. This award aims to accelerate their trajectory as independent researchers, unlock their potential, and build leadership and convenor experience.
Eligibility CriteriaTo be eligible, applicants must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for AHRC funding. The project lead and any project co-leads must be employed and supported by an eligible organisation for at least the duration of the UKRI support. There are no specific qualification requirements, and applicants do not necessarily need a qualification such as a PhD.
Key Features- Funding for projects up to five years in duration
- Full economic cost (FEC) of up to £300,000, with AHRC funding 80% of the FEC
- Applications can be submitted at any time while a round is open
- Eligibility is determined on the basis of funding history at point of submitting the application
We are seeking researchers who demonstrate potential and a clear vision for their project. Applicants must have the appropriate skills to lead the project in line with UKRI's terms and conditions. Project co-leads are permitted and encouraged for interdisciplinary applications or where a co-lead would provide specific technical expertise essential to the project.
How to ApplyFor more information on how to apply, please refer to the AHRC research funding guide. We encourage applications from a diverse range of researchers and are committed to achieving equality of opportunity for all funding applicants.
