The Royal Historical Society’s Early Career Research Support Grants provide funds to early career historians (historians who are within 5 years of submitting their PhD in a historical subject) to undertake research.

Activities supported include: visiting an archive or historic site, or conducting interviews. This grant cannot be used to support attendance at, or production of a conference.

In 2024, grants of either £500 or £1000 per grant (based on the research activity to be undertaken) will be awarded by the Society. 

All applicants are required to be members of the Society.

Closing dates for applications in 2024 are 7 June and 6 December.
