It is our view that arts and humanities disciplines depend on a diverse range of methods, viewpoints, subjects and approaches in order to continue to thrive and develop; as the Bonn Declaration (PDF, 801KB) puts it, freedom of scientific research is inseparable from a plurality of voices. One important way to achieve this is through continuing to diversify the range of people and projects that we fund.
As a UK public sector organisation, we are fully committed to our legal obligations under the Equality Act 2010 legislation and the Public Sector Equality Duty. We are also dedicated to the principles expressed in international instruments such as the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights and UNESCO’s Convention on Cultural Diversity and to ensuring that they are embedded throughout the organisation. It is our ambition that meeting these responsibilities should be our minimum expectation.
We fund a range of research and post-graduate calls. Our apply for funding page lists all our current and closed calls. Find more information about postgraduate opportunities see our postgraduate funding and training section. Bookmark our useful research funding page at: ahrc.ukri.org/funding/research/, with links to guidance about all our types of calls.
