Skills Development Call
The AHRC will shortly be launching a new Skills Development Call. This call will aim to support institutions and other organisations in developing innovative, collaborative training packages, that will meet a range of capacity issues in the arts and humanities. Institutions will be able to bid for up to £60,000 of funding to propose a mixture of activities and programmes that will respond to skills gaps or capacity issues in strategic areas of need. Awards will be for up to 18 months in duration. Programmes should support skills development for postgraduate students and early career researchers, and must be in one or more of the strategic areas of Modern Languages, Heritage and Design, identified in the Delivery Plan, or to one of the AHRC's Emerging Themes. Institutions will be asked to propose new and innovative programmes in response to this call, but some of the activities this funding may cover include: exchanges, networks, overseas study visits, placements and training programmes.
Proposals in response to this call must be led by a BGP or BGP CB holding research organisation. The proposal may involve other partners who do not hold an existing AHRC award, for example, other ROs or organisations from other sectors.
Full call guidance will be available in the next two weeks, and the deadline for applications will be mid-December 2011. Awards will be expected to start in March 2012.

BRITISH ACADEMY
Academy research projects
http://www.britac.ac.uk/funding/deadlines.cfm
Academy research projects typically share the characteristic of being infrastructural projects or research facilities, intended to produce fundamental works of scholarship, in most cases for the use of a variety of disciplines, rather than to produce interpretative works or monographs. The academy offers a kitemark of excellence and ongoing funding of up to £5,000 per annum for five years in the first instance.
Award amount max: £5,000
Closing date: 02 Nov 11
Postdoctoral fellowships
http://www.britac.ac.uk/funding/guide/pdfells.cfm
Application forms for a new call for proposals for Academy Research Projects are now available on e-GAP: https://egap.britac.ac.uk
The British Academy has a strong record in the promotion of collaborative, infrastructural, and often international research. The programme of Academy Research Projects currently gives academic recognition and modest financial support to about 50 projects, and the Academy is now looking to expand this through the adoption of a small number of new projects. This programme does not offer the kind of major funding currently available via the AHRC or ESRC, and it is expected that any project supported under the scheme will need to be able to demonstrate that it is independently financially viable.
Proposals are invited for a new round of British Academy Mid-Career Fellowships.
The Academy intends, through this scheme, both to support outstanding individual researchers with excellent research proposals, and to promote public understanding and engagement with humanities and social sciences. The scheme contributes to the Academy’s strategic commitments both to the support of ideas, individuals and intellectual resources and to public engagement and dovetails with the Academy’s new Languages and Quantitative Skills programme.
