the relevance of the research to Bible Society’s overall strategic objectives, and specifically to the funding criteria of the Bible in the Church or the Bible in Society
the knowledge, expertise, commitment and judgement of the applicant, the coherence of the proposal, and the ability of the applicant to express their thoughts clearly and concisely
the impact the research will have on Bible Society’s mission and the wider field of knowledge in this area
the ability and scope for sharing and disseminating the research and its insights, both within Bible Society and with our partners

Before applying applicants will need to have been offered a place at an institution to conduct this research, and have a supervisor in place.

Applicants will be required to submit a proposal of no more than 2,000 words, focusing on the aims, research questions and methodology of the research, suggestions for impact and wider dissemination of the potential insights gained, and a literature review. This should be supplemented with a bibliography to demonstrate an understanding of the existing knowledge in this field.

In addition to this, applicants will also need to submit an Academic Grants Application Form, which includes information such as:

details of the institution and supervisor supporting the MPhil/PhD
whether the study is full-time or part-time
how much funding is required, over what period of time
whether funding is being provided from alternative sources
a short outline of the proposal to show the nature of the research and the distinct contribution it will make to knowledge in this subject area, as well as evidence of how the research fits into the criteria and specific focus areas above

These areas of interest are not exclusive, and we welcome applications that may not easily fit into these criteria.

Applicants are also asked to provide a CV to evidence their degree and the award received, and any relevant work experience or academic prizes won.

We are working with our colleagues at Kirby Laing Centre to assess applications for these grants. Please visit their website for further information.
