The British Academy Small Research Grant

A collaboration between the British Academy and the Honor Frost Foundation to support small research grants in the fields of maritime archaeology and maritime cultural heritage began in 2014. Appropriate awards made under the British Academy’s small grants scheme, awarded by the Research Awards Committee are supported from this grant (normally around three awards per year).

Level of award

Awards do not normally exceed £10,000.

Length of award

Grants are tenable for 24 months at a time.
