Scholarship Description
These awards offer assistance for scholars conducting research on America for short-term visits to specific research sites (such as archives) or for hiring research assistance to consult archives remotely. They contribute considerably to fostering talent among the American Studies community in the UK.
The maximum of each grant will be £1000. Although there is no specific time limit for the duration of the awards, and it is recognised that awards under the scheme may need to be supplemented, it is not intended that they should be used to supplement or extend much longer-term awards. The duration of the award would typically be up to c. twelve weeks.
Applications are invited from persons normally residing in the UK, and from scholars currently working at, or registered as postgraduates at, UK universities and institutions of higher education.
Membership of BAAS is mandatory in order to be eligible to receive these awards. Applicants will need to supply their membership number, which can be found by logging into the BAAS website and navigating to Member-BAAS Community-Profile.
