The
Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) is a
British Research Council that provides
government funding for grants to undertake
research in the
arts and
humanities, mainly to
universities in the
United Kingdom. The AHRC also manages funding for university
museums,
galleries and other
collections on behalf of
HEFCE. The head office is in
Bristol.
The AHRC was established in
April 2005. It replaced the
Arts and Humanities Research Board (AHRB), founded in
1998.
The AHRC has developed numerous programmes for those (at both postgraduate and postdoctoral level) applying for research funds in the UK. The AHRC also partially funds the
Arts and Humanities Data Service to act as an electronic archive of digital resources created under its funding streams and
Intute: Arts & Humanities to assist the Arts and Humanities research community to discover scholarly online resources.
The current Chairman of the AHRC is Sir
Brian Follett, and its Chief Executive is Professor
Philip Esler.
Some criticims
The AHRC's application process is complex and time-consuming. The funding body also tends to privilege research 'skills' training in its funding decisions often at the expense of more substantive criteria. Some have complained of an anti-Oxbridge bias.
