Economic and Social Research Council - Research Grant

Research-external funding
DPIR DEADLINE
BST
EXTERNAL DEADLINE

For us to meet this deadline, please contact the Research Support Team by the deadline stated above.

Grants range from £350,000 to £1 million for a period of up to five years. Funding is based on the full economic costs of the research, with ESRC providing 80% of the cost and the research organisation covering the balance.

Proposals can draw from the wider sciences, but the social sciences must represent more than 50% of the research focus and effort.

Funding can support:

  • Standard research projects
  • Methodological development
  • Large-scale surveys or other infrastructures (for example, linguistic corpora or the classification, cataloguing and compilation of information which would be of benefit to social science researchers and a possible wider audience)

Please check the PI eligibility policy
