Your donations help us to support the International Studies community through research, events and funding, and give us the ability to advocate on your behalf.
If you’re a UK-based member in your early career, this research funding might be for you. We launched the Early Career Small Research Grants (ECSRG) in 2015 in celebration of our 40th anniversary, and provide up to £3,000 per grant. In any one year we give a maximum of three grants.
For the ECSRG, early career means five years maximum between the date showing on your PhD certificate and the application deadline. Your proposed research must be in International Studies or a related sub-field. In addition we expect your research to be complete in a maximum time span of one year.
Applications are currently closed. When they re-open we will post the deadline on this page.
Your application will be considered by our Research sub-committee at its meeting in mid-December. Notification of outcomes will be sent out in January.
Following the conclusion of your award we ask you to submit a report to us, as well as to write an article for our website. More details will be provided with your grant notification.
If you have any questions please contact our office: office@bisa.ac.uk
"The grant enabled me to conduct interviews in New York, London and Brussels and has led to some further funding to broaden the research project. I couldn’t have done this without the grant."
