Hoare’s Bank Research Grant

C. Hoare & Co., private bankers, have generously funded a research grant of up to £10,000, for a project using the Bank’s archives to research an aspect of the economic and social history of finance, wealth, investment, and consumption in Britain, 1860–1938.

Funds are available to support the direct costs of research that is aimed at a specific publication outcome and/or for pilot projects that will form the foundation for applications to other bodies for more substantial funding.

Please note that any award made would not cover:

• Conference attendance costs
• Equipment costs
• Publication costs
• Administration costs
• Indirect costs
• Room hire costs (where the venue is the applicant’s home institution)

The successful applicant will be expected to provide the following within 4 weeks of the grant end date (you will be asked to provide an end date as part of your application):

• A short research report (c. 2,000 words) for the bank’s use.
• One public presentation or lecture on their research and a blog summarising this.
• An annotated outline of further research potential within the archives for future projects or collaborations.

The Grant has a maximum duration from award for a period of up to 2 years.  No claims against the grant will be accepted after that time.

Closing dates for applications are on the first day of May.  Applicants will usually be informed of the outcome of their application within 6-8 weeks of the deadline date for applications.
