The AHRC’s Collaborative Skills Development call

The AHRC’s Collaborative Skills Development call is aimed at supporting the development of innovative, collaborative training packages for PhD students and early career researchers in the arts and humanities.

The 2013 call will operate with three strands:

  • The Organisation-led strand will offer funding of up to £60,000 to enable Research Organisations to offer training and skills development activities to groups of students and Early Career Researchers in several institutions, involving a variety of different partners.
  • The Early Career Researcher (ECR)-led strand will offer funds up to £5,000 to support ECRs to establish and run collaborative training and researcher development activities primarily for the benefit of other ECRs.
  • The Student-led strand will support doctoral students to establish and run smaller-scale collaborative activities, with an award limit of £3,000.

Proposals must be collaborative, involving at least one Research Organisation and another partner. Proposals can be led by any Research Organisation, including Independent Research Organisations, and the student and ECR-led strands are not restricted to AHRC-funded students / ECRs.

Applications should propose the development of skills within one of the following areas:

  • Partnership working including public engagement: To support postgraduate students to engage effectively with collaborators outside of academia, including community groups and the public, private and third sectors.
  • Entrepreneurship and the Creative Economy: Delivering activities and strategies that enable postgraduate students to develop their research in an entrepreneurial context, including Enterprise learning.
  • Research Skills Enrichment: Supporting new activities that will enable postgraduate researchers to enhance their research skills by engaging with disciplines outside of their own in order to add value to their current research and/or develop their research in a new direction.

Proposals will be eligible from any discipline within the AHRC’s subject remit. Applicants are welcome to propose innovative forms of skills development and training for students and ECRs, but we will also accept applications proposing conferences and workshops, placements and internships, business plan type competitions and entrepreneurs-in-residence, study visits and electronic resources, to name just a few examples.
