The current policy is to make grants only to support the attendance of students at conferences in the form of student bursaries of up to 50% of the cost of conference fees and accommodation for a graduate student. The Trust does not subsidize the cost of travel to and from the conference. Students from the institution hosting the conference are not be supported by the Trust.
Grant applications will be assessed 3 times a year by a subcommittee, at the
British Academy deadlines of 15 October, 15 January and 15 April. The total
budget for grants at each deadline is £2000. The Committee does not give retrospective
grants.
Applications for grants should be made by email to the Secretary of
the Analysis Committee, Dr Robert Williams by completing and submitting
the
application form.
Conditions attached to the receipt of a grant:
1.The bursary should amount to no more than a 50% subsidy of each graduate student,
as compared to full cost of accommodation and conference fees;
2. The role of the Analysis Committee in supporting the conference should be
acknowledged in the conference literature;
3. The conference should be open and widely advertised;
4. No later than three months after the conference, a conference report should
be sent by email to the Secretary. This should include itemised accounts for
the conference finances and an assessment of how well the conference met the
aims and purpose(s) set out in the application for a grant, after which the
relevant funds will be released.
