Applications are now open for the 2022 Herbert and Valmae Freilich Early Career Research Small Grants Scheme. 

Up to 3 grants of $5000 will be offered to assist research into the causes, the histories and the effects of ethnic, cultural, religious and sexual bigotry and animosity, and to explore how such intolerance can be combatted, and co-existence promoted. 

Grants may be used in a number of ways, including, but not limited to travel including archival work, fieldwork (considering the restrictions of COVID-19 and the feasibility of travel in the current conditions); research assistance; conference attendance; administrative assistance; teaching relief; childcare costs.

PhD students and Early Career Researchers (as defined by the Australian Research Council) enrolled or employed at Australian tertiary institutions, within public service or community organisations, and independent researchers resident in Australia are invited to apply for projects commencing in January 2022.

Applications are due by Friday 12 November 2021.
