Archaeology Research and Legacy Grants
11 Feb 2022
The Royal Irish Academy (RIA) Archaeology Research Grants and Archaeology Legacy Grants schemes are now open to applications: https://www.ria.ie/news/standing-committee-archaeology-grants-and-awards/archaeology-research-grants-and-archaeology
The Archaeology Research Grant (ARG) scheme is funded by the NMS, Historic Environment Division NI and the RIA is operating this on an all-island basis for a third year. They have also benefitted from increased funding from NMS which has resulted in an increased budget for the ARG scheme, and will enable funding of up to €5,000 per project.
This scheme welcomes applications which focus on an innovative and standalone research question with a standalone research answer into which research might provide an original contribution to archaeological knowledge.

The Legacy Grants scheme is open once more to applications relating to post-excavation research for Archaeological Research Excavations which were previously funded by the Royal Irish Academy and whose RIA excavation funding ended at least five years ago. Approximately €90,000 is available for Archaeology Legacy grants in this round of funding. The maximum award available to a project under this round of funding is €30,000.
