Research Funding Forthcoming Deadlines. Apply now and receive support to develop your career and opportunities!
As part of the Regional Studies Association<http://www.regionalstudies.org/>‘s 50th anniversary new funding schemes and increased funding for Research Networks have been agreed.
By offering these, the Association is seeking to raise the profile of regional research and its contribution if appropriate, to policy and practice. Research awards will be judged on the basis of the excellence of the research proposal and the ability of the applicant to communicate the results of the research broadly.
Please note that these schemes are open to RSA members only. However, non-members are encouraged to apply and join the RSA at the same time (not applicable for the Fellowship Research Grant).
Please feel free to forward this email to anyone you feel would be interested in these funding Schemes.

RSA Research Networks are formed by RSA members interested in meeting to examine an issue that responds to the aims and goals of the Association and is of interest and concern to members of the Association as well as non-members.
