Pasold Research Fund Grants
MA Grants for MA students registered at a British institution
up to £500
Due 15 April 2025
Pasold research grants are awarded to fund high quality research, relating to all branches of textile history including the history of dress and fashion.
Applications are encouraged for projects where there will be a lasting outcome in the form of a publication or an exhibition or similar. This includes conservation related projects, leading to publications, but excludes the purchase or repair of objects and the purchase of hardware (eg cameras or computing equipment or computer software).
Applications will also be considered where preliminary work is needed for the preparation of a more substantial grant application to one of the major funding bodies.
Applications may be made to fund conference attendance – these applications may come from individuals or from conference organisers seeking funding for a named applicant.
However, it is important to provide an abstract of the paper and details of the nature of the conference and its significance. Where a conference organiser is seeking support for a named delegate details of the conference, a CV of the delegate and title and abstract of the paper are required.
All successful grant applicants, where appropriate, will be encouraged to consider submitting the outcome of their research to Textile History.
Publication would of course be subject to editorial refereeing and decision. Grants in aid of publicationfor a contribution towards illustrations, will be considered where a clear case is made explaining the absence of funding from other sources and the way in which the illustrative material is essential to the analysis and quality of the research output. Where funding is sought to complete or to part-finance a commissioned work and/or a work to be published under the auspices of a university, museum, gallery or similar, please specify the necessity, the case for, and the role of, the additional external funding.
