Grants

ASEASUK RESEARCH COMMITTEE FOR SOUTH-EAST ASIAN STUDIES (formerly the British Academy CSEAS)

Applications are invited to the ASEASUK Research Committee for research grants under the strategic research grant scheme for 2009-10 (formerly known as the British Academy South East Asia Committee grants).

The application form is available below this message for you to download.

Applications are to support advanced post-doctoral (or equivalent) research in the humanities and social sciences on South-East Asia (Brunei, Cambodia, East Timor, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam) and the wider region in line with the Committee’s Strategic Research Plan ‘Integration and interaction in the South-East Asian region’. Grants are made either for individual research or for collaborative projects: they are not made to support doctoral research. Requests for extensions of grants for a further twelve months are considered on submission of a satisfactory progress report.

There are two deadlines: 30 September 2009 and 31 January 2010. Awards are normally in the region of £5,000 for research in or about South East Asia. The proposed research should broadly meet the criteria outlined in the ASEASUK strategic research plan (2005/6-2010/11). An application form (including terms and conditions) and a copy of the strategic research plan may be downloaded from the top menu or the navigation menu on this page.
