Description
The Economic History Society’s Research Fund for Graduate Students helps Master’s and PhD students at United Kingdom colleges and universities meet the practical costs of collecting research evidence. It supports work on any aspect of economic and/or social history, including travel and accommodation needed to gather research data and source materials.
The fund can also support data input costs and research assistance. For these requests, applicants must explain their methodological approaches, the sources they will use, and how research assistant employment meets employment regulations, best practice, and standards. The emphasis is on gathering and inputting research evidence rather than conference participation or purchasing equipment and materials.
