Description
The Economic History Society’s Carnevali Small Research Grants Scheme encourages small-scale research initiatives and pilot studies in economic and/or social history. It funds the direct costs of clearly defined, discrete research aimed at a specific publication outcome, including work with the potential to appear in leading journals in the discipline.
The scheme also supports pilot projects that lay the foundation for applications to other bodies for more substantial funding. These projects can help researchers establish the scope and potential of larger investigations. Past awards have supported interdisciplinary research combining archival and archaeological evidence on medieval living standards, and research into British clerical workers, gender, career structures and workplace technology.
