RESEARCH AWARDS ADVISORY COMMITTEE

Study Abroad Fellowships

Approximately 15 Fellowships are available providing up to £22,000 for holders of a full-time post in a UK university, museum, art gallery or comparable institution, who have held such a post in the UK for at least the last 5 years. The aim is to fund a period overseas for between 3 and 12 months in a stimulating academic environment, devoted to the exchange of ideas, the development of new lines of research and collaborations, the enhancement of existing links, developing innovations in teaching, or the opportunity for "discipline-hopping excursions" into new areas of research. Take up between 1 June 2010 and 1 May 2011. Any subject considered. Fellowships provide reasonable replacement costs and/or essential incidental expenses. Applicants must provide clear reasons for their choice of host institution and country, and the host institution must confirm its willingness to host the Fellow.

Eligible applicants can access application materials from the Trust's website: www.leverhulme.ac.uk.
Closing date: 4.00pm on Tuesday 10 November 2009.
