Grants and awards
We do not fund students directly, instead our postgraduate funding is provided to universities and they select and administer individual student awards, therefore prospective students should contact the institution at which they wish to study to enquire about the funding available.
UKRI Grants
The AHRC works with the UK Research and Innovation Grants Team who provide support for Je-S System users and administrative and transactional activities in support of delivering our funding activities.

For applications and proposals: There is a dedicated Helpdesk that provides telephone and email support for the Je-S system for technical assistance with submitting applications and proposals, maintenance requests and general information.
