Funding

The EHRC funds:

• PhD students looking to undertake archival work, participate in conferences, and establish collaborations with senior colleagues
• Postdocs. We are especially keen to assist in the development of postdoctoral grants (Leverhulme, BA, ESRC, Wellcome, Fullbright, Marshall etc). Please get in touch with us as early as possible so we can work on the submission together.
• Research projects carried out by staff at all levels and stages of research.

The EHRC also facilitates and funds opportunities for visiting scholars and provides an institutional platform to organise and promote workshops, conferences, seminars, lectures and impact-related activities.
