Applications are now invited from members of the Royal Historical Society for the following two funding programmes:
Jinty Nelson Teaching Fellowships – providing funding of between £500 and £1250 to support innovations in the teaching of history in higher education, with projects to take place in the academic year 2025-26.
Fellowships support historians in Higher Education who wish to introduce new approaches and initiatives to their teaching—and for which funding is required to make this possible. Fellowships may also support those seeking to undertake a short study of an aspect of History teaching in UK Higher Education. The Fellowships are named after Dame Jinty Nelson FBA (1942-2024), President of the Society between 2000 and 2004. Further details and how to apply.
Funded Book Workshops – providing funding of £2000 per day-workshop to enable mid-career authors to bring together six specialist readers to discuss a book manuscript in detail prior to its submission to a publisher. Workshops provide a constructive environment in which work-in-progress is developed to become a richer book on publication.
The programme seeks to address a lack of intellectual support that many historians face in mid career. This lack of support is often in contrast to that provided when studying for a PhD, and writing first articles or monograph derived from a doctorate. Further details and how to apply.
The closing dates for both calls is Friday 11 July 2025. For those interested in applying but not yet members of the Society, please see the Join Us pages of the RHS website.
