Funding Opportunity – Interdisciplinary PhD Research and Travel Fund

The Graduate School for Interdisciplinary Studies (GSIS) is delighted to offer up to 12 awards to interdisciplinary PhD students to support them in an interdisciplinary activity which will further their PG research.

The fund is open to any PhD student currently supervised by more than one School. Applications should clearly state how funds will be used to support interdisciplinary research or activities.

For example, awards could be used to support attendance at an interdisciplinary conference, interdisciplinary training or other interdisciplinary activities.

Funding must be used by Wednesday 31 July 2024 and recipients are required to produce a blogpost or 1–2 page report thereafter, explaining how the funding was used and highlighting how it helped to support or progress their postgraduate studies. This output may be made publicly available on the GSIS website.

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until Sunday 30 June 2024, or until the fund runs out (whichever comes first) and the maximum amount for any one application is £250.

To apply, please complete the Graduate School Interdisciplinary PhD Research Fund Application Form.  All applications will be reviewed by a panel chaired by the Director of the Graduate School for Interdisciplinary Studies, and decisions will be communicated within two weeks. 

The next round of funding will open in Autumn 2024.
