AHRC Doctoral Landscape Award (DLA) Scholarship Information
The AHRC Doctoral Landscape Award Hub will bring together seven leading universities across the Midlands, to support research students to become experts in their field and to employ their knowledge and skills in their career destinations.
AHRC DLA Research Training Support Grant (RTSG)
These UKRI Training Grant awards include a Research Training Support Grant (RTSG) which may be used to support study visits and conference attendance, as well as other research costs which are necessary for the student’s primary research, for example, consumables or exhibition costs.
DLA students must apply for funding ahead of making any bookings for RTSG activities.
Use of the DLA RTSG must follow UKRI guidelines as summarised in the PGR Funding Policy
AHRC Doctoral Landscape Hub
The AHRC East and West Midlands Hub is based at Nottingham University.
The Hub aims to provide advanced training and offer professional development support for PGRs funded under this scheme, to broaden their career opportunities and facilitate their engagement with the region’s economies, commercial, cultural and third sectors. There will also be events, facilitation of collaboration activities and networking opportunities across the other seven institutions in the Hub.
A Hub induction day will be combined with the M4C DTP Returners Day and take place at Austin Court, Birmingham on 21 October 10-4.30pm.
Invitations to attend the induction day and the programme will be sent out directly to students shortly
