HARI is seeking to support a number of interdisciplinary projects for the 2019-20 academic year.

The competition for project funding is open to all FTE staff at Royal Holloway, University of London. Awards may contribute to the pursuit of research in various ways, for example, the funding and organising of research events, workshops, symposia, conferences. The format and frequency of events are open, but successful projects are expected to generate exchange across the College and benefit a range of colleagues and students. Research must be of an interdisciplinary nature.

The increased emphasis placed on generating grant income and impact is reflected in the way HARI’s Steering Committee will assess funding applications for 2019-20. Applications that can demonstrate concrete plans for using HARI funding as a first step towards generating external research grant income, especially RC income, or that have a strong impact dimension will be prioritised.

The maximum sum for which applicants can apply is £1,000. Applicants should consult with their Heads of Department to ensure coordination with departmental plans.

The deadline for applications is Wednesday 10th July 2019.

Applications should be made via the HARI Project Funding Application Form.

Please submit completed application forms to the HARI Administrator: hari@rhul.ac.uk

For all enquiries please contact Professor Hannah Thompson, Director of HARI (hannah.thompson@rhul.ac.uk).

HARI is inviting departmental Research Centres to apply for funding. Subject to budgetary approval, HARI will make a 50% contribution up to a maximum of £1,500 to support the research activities and events of Research Centres. The other 50% must come from the Centre. Applications from Research Centres should be interdisciplinary and involve colleagues attached to the Centre as well as other departments. The competition is open to all FTE staff at Royal Holloway. Like HARI Fellowships and Projects, the HARI Centre activities will be showcased on HARI’s website.

HARI will consider applications on any topic area but will give preference to applications that intersect with the theme of 'Genders and Sexualities'.

Applications should be made by the Research Centre’s Director and should provide the names of all individuals who will be involved in the proposed research activities.

HARI Centre Funding will provide successful applicants with 50% funding which may be applied towards the pursuit of research in various ways, for example the organisation of research events, public dissemination activities, conferences or the development of a large research project and grant application.

The format and frequency of events are open, although Centre Directors will be expected to liaise with the HARI Deputy Director in planning and scheduling in particular. Successful applications are expected to generate exchange across the College and benefit a range of colleagues and students. Research must be of an interdisciplinary nature.

The maximum sum for which Research Centres can apply is £1,500. The application will have to demonstrate that the Centre will provide matching funding of 50%.  Applications should be made on the form below. Centre Directors should consult with their Heads of Department to ensure coordination with Departmental plans.

Applications should be made via the: HARI Centre Funding Application Form 2019-20

The closing date for applications is Wednesday 10^th July 2019.

HARI is inviting applications from individuals and Research Centres to organise and host a Flagship Event that involves an Eminent Speaker who will attract a large, interdisciplinary audience (beyond Royal Holloway’s academic community). In the past, HARI has hosted flagship events involving speakers including Jacques Rancière and Judith Butler, which were extremely well attended. Ideally, the proposed speaker should be of such a calibre as to attract some media coverage (with the help of RHUL’s Communications & External Relations unit).

HARI will consider applications on any topic area but will give preference to applications that intersect with the theme of 'Genders and Sexualities'.

The increased emphasis placed on generating grant income and impact is reflected in the way HARI’s Steering Committee will assess funding applications for 2019-20. Applications that can demonstrate concrete plans for using HARI funding as a first step towards generating external research grant income, especially Research Council income, or that have a strong impact dimension will be prioritised.

The maximum sum for which applicants can apply is £1,000.  

Applications should be made via the: HARI Eminent Speaker Application Form 2019-20

The closing date for applications is Wednesday 10^th July 2019.

Please complete and return the application form to hari@rhul.ac.uk

For all enquiries please contact Professor Hannah Thompson, Director of HARI (hannah.thompson@rhul.ac.uk).

The Humanities and Arts Research Institute (HARI) is seeking to appoint HARI Fellows for the 2019-20 academic year. HARI will consider applications on any topic area but will give preference to applications that intersect with the theme of 'Genders and Sexualities'. 

The increased emphasis placed on generating grant income and impact is reflected in the way HARI’s Steering Committee will assess funding applications for 2019-20. Applications that can demonstrate concrete plans for using HARI funding as a first step towards generating external research grant income, especially Research Council income, or that have a strong impact dimension will be prioritised.

Fellowships are open to all FTE staff at Royal Holloway, University of London. Applications should be made by two or more colleagues from separate departments who wish to work together on a project.

The Fellowships will provide successful applicants with funding which may be applied towards the pursuit of research in various ways, for example teaching buyout, funding and organising of research events, conferences. A further goal of Fellowships is to foster leadership skills, thus visibly preparing colleagues to apply for AHRC Fellowships.

The format and frequency of events are open, although Fellows will be expected to liaise with the HARI team in planning and scheduling in particular. Successful projects are expected to generate exchange across the College and benefit a range of colleagues and students. Research must be of an interdisciplinary nature.

During their term, Fellows will serve on the HARI Steering Committee. At the conclusion of a Fellowship they will be expected to write a report on their project that can be published on the HARI website.

The maximum sum for which collaborating Fellows can apply is £3,000. 

Applications should be made via the HARI Fellowship Application Form. Please submit completed application forms to the HARI Administrator: hari@rhul.ac.uk

The closing date for applications is Wednesday 10^th July 2019.

Applicants should consult with their Heads of Department to ensure coordination with departmental plans. Applications demonstrating that external funding will be sought alongside a HARI Fellowship will be viewed particularly positively.

HARI’s aim is to foster intellectual exchange between scholars of different disciplines. If you have a project that will contribute, please download and submit the application form for ad-hoc grants up to £500.

We accept applications throughout the academic year; applications are assessed following each of the deadlines of 15 November, 15 January, and 15 March. You are advised to apply as much in advance as you can. Send complete applications to hari@rhul.ac.uk

HARI considers projects costing over £500 as a part of planning the subsequent year's budgets.
