Internal funding opportunities

ECA Research Committee Fund for 2010/11

Applications from ECA academic staff can now be made to the ECA Research Committee fund for 2011/12.

These can be made under two categories

  1. Short-term buy-out funding for research applications
  2. Research funding: applications can be made for funding to support aspects of research projects

There will be two rounds this year, further information and deadlines to be announced.

Results will be available within two weeks of the deadline following consideration of applications by the Research Committee.

If you have any questions about these schemes, please contact Louise Fleming, Research, Knowledge Exchange and Outreach Office Administrator, or Prof Remo Pedreschi, Director of Research.

External funding opportunities

The following list details many funding opportunities relevant to staff in Edinburgh College of Art, and will be updated on a regular basis.

If you are planning an application, please discuss this with Louise Fleming in the Research, Knowledge Exchange and Outreach Office at your earliest opportunity.

Applying for a grant

Any medium-large grant applications are subject to internal review prior to submission. This process is designed to facilitate the development of your application, rather than be a critical review prior to submission. Please ensure you consult the Research, Knowledge Exchange and Outreach Office as early on as possible when preparing your application: applications which are not reviewed may not be approved by the ECA for submission.

Ethics approval for research

You must also obtain ethical approval for your application prior to submission. This process involves an initial self-audit on ethical issues in your project, with the completion of a research ethics checklist if necessary.
