British Academy calls for protection of response-mode research funding
In its response to the Arts and Humanities Council’s current policy consultation, 'Future Directions', the British Academy has called for the Council to protect and maintain substantial support for responsive mode funding, in order to encourage new approaches.
It calls on the Council to make the process of selecting topics for its strategic initiatives subject to wide consultation and peer review, and to ensure that there is an appropriate balance between strategic funding and responsive mode funding.
The full response is available online.
