By far the British Academy’s most popular scheme in terms of applications received and number of awards made, the BA/Leverhulme Small Research Grants stand as one of the Academy’s highest profile programmes with awards made to academics working at around 100 Institutions around the UK.

All research grant applications must be preceded by a letter of inquiry (LOI).

RSF rarely considers projects for which the investigators have not already fully-developed the research design, the sample framework, access to data, etc.
