The Fellowships in the Creative and Performing Arts Scheme, managed by the Arts and Humanities Research Board (AHRB), is inviting applications for its latest round of awards.
The scheme supports practice- and performance-based researchers who have not had the opportunity to undertake a significant programme of research within a higher education environment, and who have reached a point in their career when they would benefit from time to pursue a sustained programme of high quality research in the creative and performing arts. Fellows, who undertake a substantial research programme and contribute to the research activities of their institution, will receive an AHRB award of £17,500 per year, for up to three years. Partnership funding towards salary and other research costs is provided by the host institution. 14 Fellows were appointed in 2001, their fields ranging from rock-climbing art to Japanese textile design. The closing date for 2002 applications is September 28, 2001.
