Funding opportunity for Early Career Researchers launches
A new Fund has opened for research that examines current and emerging challenges related to vulnerability and policing.
ECR Development Fund for 2023
The Early Career Researcher (ECR) Development Fund announced by the Vulnerability & Policing Futures Research Centre provides an opportunity for ECRs to lead co-produced projects.
Research grants of up to £25,000 per project are available for 12-month projects commencing in May 2023.
The thematic steer for 2023 is ‘children and young people’. However, all eligible applications will be considered and equally assessed against the criteria, regardless of thematic focus. The strength of proposals will be the first and foremost priority when allocating funding.
The deadline for applications is Monday 30 January 2023.
