*ESHET Research Grant Scheme - Call for Proposals*

Following an announcement during the last General Assembly on the 10^th 
of June 2022, ESHET is resuming its Research Grant Scheme with the aim 
of fostering innovative and small-scale research initiatives without the 
usual administrative and management costs associated with international 
competitive research programmes.

Applications are open to ESHET members and grants will usually be 
awarded to projects featuring *early career scholars*. An ‘early career 
scholar’ is defined as someone who has completed a PhD no more than 
seven years from the date of the deadline for the application. Scholars 
who in that period have been on parental leave or had other reasons for 
career breaks can ask for an extension of the seven-year period (an 
extension of one year per child is possible).

A small number (1 or 2) research projects annually will be funded up to 
an amount of € 2000.

The duration of each research project is typically one year, with the 
obligation to present a final report at the end of the project. The 
research projects should commence between 1 January 2023 and 30 June 
2023. Projects must be completed by 30 June 2024.

The ESHET Executive Committee and Council invite proposals of up to 1500 
words outlining the aims of the research project, a plan of 
implementation and a costing.

For further details of the requirements for proposals please read the 
full specification of the grant scheme on the ESHET website:

Research proposals will be judged by a three-person jury that will be 
composed after the closing date of the call. The jury reserves the right 
to not fund any projects in case that none of the proposals submitted 
are deemed worthy of funding. The assessment of the project proposals 
will be based on the quality, the scientific merit and the 
innovativeness of the project, as presented in the proposal.

Applications will be open from 2 September 2022.

The deadline for the submission of proposals is *31 October 2022*.

Please address proposals to the ESHET General Secretary, Sylvie Rivot

The decision of the jury will be announced by 19 December 2022.
