Small Project Grants (maximum £500) are aimed at
postgraduate students and
staff who would like to foster an external partnership, or organise an interdisciplinary reading group, lecture, symposium, study day, workshop, or another kind of event to develop
new interdisciplinary connections and grant applications. Examples of recently funded small projects are here.
Research Strands (£1500 per year, for 1-3 years) enable intensive research efforts in a strategic area. They are aimed primarily at
staff who would like to prepare a major grant application, and provide funding to help organise events or networking activities over one or more academic years. Research Strands are selected based on originality, timeliness, historiographical and methodological significance, and the ability to generate interest from staff and students across and beyond the Centre's core disciplines in the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. CModS Research Stran
ds are led by an academic member of staff, and can include collaborators who are other members of staff, postgraduate research
students, and/or postdocs. Examples of current
Research Strands are here.
