Awards for Research
 

Applications are invited for Handel Institute Research Awards, financed from funds made available by European Music Year, to assist in the furtherance of projects involving the music or life of George Frideric Handel or his contemporaries or associates. One or more awards may be offered, up to a total of £1,000.

Applicants should send to the Handel Institute (address below) an outline of their proposed project, a breakdown of the anticipated expenditure and a note of any other funding applied for or received. They should also ask two referees to write on their behalf (references will not be solicited). The deadline for the receipt of applications and references is 15 September 2006. All applicants will be contacted as soon as possible thereafter.

Any materials such as microfilms that are bought with an award will become the property of the Handel Institute when the successful applicant has finished using them. Please note that awards will not be made for the payment of university fees and will not normally be considered for the costs of photocopying and binding of dissertations. For further information, please contact Professor Colin Timms (C.R.Timms@bham.ac.uk)
