RSA Early Career Grant Scheme
Who is it for?
This award is open to single applicants in their early career. Applicants must be based within an eligible higher education institution (HEI) and must be a current, early career member of the Regional Studies Association and throughout the duration of the grant.
How does it work?
The RSA Early Career Awards are provided to support a discrete piece of regional studies and/or regional science research. The value of the award is up to £10,000 (or its equivalent in dollars or euros depending upon the agreed exchange rate at the time of the award). The award has a maximum time span of 18 months and reporting conditions apply. Only one award will be made to any successful applicant.
Award
The Regional Studies Association has made a minimum commitment of £160,000 to be disbursed before the end of 2013. This will be distributed across four rounds of the competition – one in 2011, two in 2012 and one in 2013 but the allocation of monies in each round will be determined by the quality of applications. There will, however, be a minimum of four grants available in each round. The Association may choose to release further funds in any round.
The full Terms and Conditions governing awards will be provided to successful applicants as part of the formal offer, based on the general terms and conditions set out below.
