Opportunity profile: AHRC takes design to the next level

The AHRC launches a call to help it direct future funding in design research

Top tips:

• Applicants should demonstrate their understanding that they are bidding for a short-term scoping exercise and not a standard research call.
• This is not a scheme for design research novices: applicants should be knowledgeable on the theme they are applying to investigate.
• However, applications from early-career researchers are welcome.
• If successful, applicants will need to travel in the UK and network extensively and synthesise a broad spectrum of information in a clear and concise way.
• Fellowship job-shares are permitted and are encouraged 

The Arts and Humanities Research Council’s Design Fellowships are opportunities for design researchers to undertake a scoping exercise in one of five selected areas of design research to highlight the challenges and opportunities faced by researchers in that area.
