Funding Awards
Applicants should read the relevant guidelines and our Strategic
Research Plan before completing an application.
Research Awards
CBRL Research Awards of up to £10,000 are offered for postdoctoral research in
the humanities and social sciences to be undertaken in the countries of the
Levant (Cyprus, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine and Syria).
The period of research must be between 1 April 2008 and 31 March 2009.
Applicants must be of British nationality or normally resident in the United
Kingdom, the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands.
2009/2010 Round of Awards:
Application forms and guidance notes for research to be undertaken between 1
April 2009 and 31 March 2010 will be available from September 2008.
Travel Grants
Small grants (up to £800) are available to fund the basic costs of individual
travel and are generally (but not exclusively) intended to fund junior
researchers. Such grants are not awarded to assist individuals to join a
project, where it could be seen as a hidden subsidy to the project in question.
2009/2010 Round of Awards:
Application forms and guidance notes for research to be undertaken between 1
April 2009 and 31 March 2010 will be available from September 2008.
Pilot Studies and Pump-Priming
This falls into two categories: (1) support for research projects from
non-archaeological disciplines, where CBRL is actively seeking to encourage
greater diversity among the projects that it supports; and (2) support for
researchers undertaking initial exploratory work or a feasibility study with a
view to preparing a later application for major funding from a research Council
or the British Academy in due course. Awards under either heading may be used to
cover travel, round tables, seminars, or initial exploratory fieldwork. In
addition, CBRL will assist such feasibility studies through the provision of its
facilities and in establishing local contacts. To be eligible under this scheme,
a project must involve an element of travel to (or from) the Middle East.
2009/2010 Round of Awards:
Application forms and guidance notes for research to be undertaken between 1
April 2009 and 31 March 2010 will be available from September 2008.

Visiting Fellowships
CBRL Visiting Research Fellowships are offered for doctoral and postdoctoral
research in the humanities and social sciences to be undertaken in the Levant
(Cyprus, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine and Syria). Fellowships are
available to enable individuals to spend a period of between three and nine
months in the Levant, which is to include a minimum of one month residence at
the British Institute in Amman or the Kenyon Institute in Jerusalem. Applicants
must be British or normally resident in the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man or
the Channel Islands or registered on a full-time doctoral degree in a UK
university.
2009/2010 Round of Awards:
Application forms and guidance notes for research to be undertaken between 1
April 2009 and 31 March 2010 will be available from September 2008.
Honorary Fellowships
CBRL also awards
Honorary Fellowships. At present there are five of these. Two have been
awarded to assist promising junior scholars in their research and three have
been awarded to assist in the publication of backlog projects. Project
Affliation is required. Applications may be made for Honorary Fellowships at any
time of the year.
Application: Please send your curriculum vitae, with two letters of
recommendation, and at least one
project affiliation application. Postgraduate researchers must have a letter
of support from their supervisor. Applications can be made at any time of the
year.
Project Affiliation
CBRL invites applications for Project Affiliation for postdoctoral research in the humanities and social sciences to be undertaken in the countries
of the Levant (Cyprus, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine and Syria). All applications should clearly demonstrate that CBRL affiliation is sought for a
clearly defined piece of research, which will have an identifiable outcome on completion.

Conference and Outreach funding
CBRL holds, sponsors, and assists with conferences and other forms of outreach,
such as exhibitions and museum displays. Conference and other outreach grants
are awarded by CBRL on an annual basis to British citizens or members of the
British academic community.
Application: Proposals for such events, or requests for assistance, can
be made in writing to the UK Administrative Secretary at the London office. The
proposal should be in the form of a letter and include a fully costed budget,
details on what other support is available or being sought, and information on
exactly what support is sought from CBRL.
Deadline: Conference and related proposals will be considered by the CBRL
committee at the next quarterly meeting to take place eight weeks or more after
they have been received.
It is recommended that those planning to organise a conference or other outreach
project discuss their proposals with the
Director in advance of making an application.
Awards will not normally be made to support conference attendance by
participants from countries other than the UK or those of the Levant.
Award Conditions and Reports
If your application is successful you will need to consult the award conditions
and submit a report.
At this time conditions and report forms are available only for current award
holders.
