Description
The Pasold Research Fund supports doctoral research in any area or period of textile history, including dress and fashion. Its PhD bursaries help meet the costs of doctoral study through a subsidy for fees or direct research expenses. Support can cover conference attendance, securing visual materials, travel and other research activities that benefit the applicant’s PhD.
The programme places particular priority on applications demonstrating that a bursary will enable completion of the doctorate, including dissertations already close to completion. Applicants seeking research expenses must explain how the funding will advance their PhD and why those costs cannot be met from other sources. Awards normally support one year, with a possible second year subject to satisfactory progress.
