Funding
Other funding
Managed funds are not normally open to application. These funds allow us to identify new opportunities for the arts, take new initiatives, establish new partnerships and address particular ambitions for growth, such as in cultural diversity or support for the European Capital of Culture.
Between 2003/04 and 2005/06 a total of £82 million will be available in managed funds - £44 million for the regional offices, £33 million nationally and with a £5 million strategic contingency.
We present prizes and awards through our managed funds - rewarding creative talent in the arts.
Arts and Science Research Fellowships
Supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Board, Arts Council England and the Scottish Arts Council.
The Arts & Humanities Research Board (AHRB), Arts Council England and the Scottish Arts Council welcome applications to the second Arts and Science Research Fellowships scheme which supports collaborative research in arts and science. This scheme aims to support collaborative research specifically between the fields of the creative and performing arts and science and engineering, as well as providing opportunities for individual researchers within the arts to work alongside those working in a scientific context. It also seeks to explore wider questions about whether and how art and science can mutually inform each other.
The Fellowship offers individuals working within the creative and performing arts the opportunity to engage in a process of collaborative research in a UK Higher Education Institution (HEI) for 6-12 months, on a full or part-time basis, working with colleagues in a scientific or engineering discipline. For further information read our news item on the
Arts and Science Research Fellowships scheme.
