The British Academy is inviting proposals for Writing Workshops in Brazil, Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Kenya, Malaysia, Philippines, South Africa, Turkey, Thailand, Vietnam and/or Least Developed Countries.
The intention of the Writing Workshops is to cultivate professional networks and mentorship and provide access for early career researchers in developing countries to the academic requirements of journals, including international journals, and to equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills to publish in these journals.
Eligibility Requirements
- The Lead must be of postdoctoral or above status (or have equivalent research experience) and must hold an established role in an eligible university or research institute in the UK or eligible countries mentioned above.
- Each project must include at least one researcher who is based in mentioned countries if the Principal Investigator is based in the UK or one researcher based in the UK if the Principal Investigator is based in mentioned countries.
- All proposals must be ODA-eligible: only projects that have a primary objective which is directly and primarily relevant to the problems of developing countries may be counted as ODA-eligible. ODA eligibility is an essential criterion – projects will only be deemed eligible for funding if they can demonstrate that they satisfy ODA eligibility criteria.
- These workshops are required to take place in mentioned countries.
Value and Duration
- Awards are set at a maximum of £30,000.
- Funding must be used in the direct delivery of the workshops, and can cover travel and related expenses, subsistence costs, clerical assistance and consumables, childcare support (including for participants), networking, meeting and/or conference costs.
- It will be considered an eligible cost to support the contribution of non-UK based Co-Applicants who are directly involved in helping to organise the workshop(s) in country.
- The award length is two years. This is to enable and acknowledge the significant follow-on and follow-up activities that a successful writing workshop award will need to undertake.
Application Process
- Applications can only be submitted online using the British Academy’s online Flexi-Grant® Grant Management System (GMS) system.
- Application deadline: Wednesday 17 September 2025, 17:00 UK time.
