Applications for the ECPR Research Project Grant are now open

Initially established in 2020, the grants aim to support Standing Groups and Research Networks embarking on a large-scale research project.

The grant is funded via The Bonus Fund, which is made up of 10 per cent of the ECPR’s annual surplus each year. To ensure continuity each year, the decision was taken by the Awards, Prizes and Funding committee to take a three-year average of the available surplus. As such, the amount available for this year is £25k in total. The ECPR hopes to be able to support between three and five research projects (£5-£8.5k each) using these funds.

• Details of the grant are on the ECPR’s website.

• The selection criteria can be found here.
