Notes:
To be eligible for funding under the English Heritage ALSF Programme, projects must:
1. be directly related to the impact on the historic environment of the extraction of aggregate that is subject to the levy
2. aim to reduce, rather than compensate for, the impact of aggregate extraction
3. be additional to activity in English Heritage's existing grants programmes
4. be additional to mineral operators' obligations through planning conditions
5. be delivered in England
Archaeological projects must in addition meet English Heritage's strategic priorities for archaeology which are currently set out in the Implementation Plan for Exploring our Past 1998 (EoP98).
Marine projects must meet English Heritage's strategic priorities for the marine historic environment which are set out in Taking to the Water.
Community Benefit
English Heritage is committed to widening access to, and understanding and enjoyment of, the historic environment. All projects funded through our ALSF Programme should, wherever possible, deliver these aims through programmes of outreach, education, interpretation and community involvement.
Joint Working & Partnership Funding
We encourage project proposals which promote partnership and joint working across different stakeholder groups and constituencies: the aggregates industry, local government, commercial contractors, the higher education and research sector, other environmental agencies, community groups and not-for-profit organisations, and the independent and voluntary sector.
The English Heritage ALSF Programme has no requirement for partnership funding but applications which bring partnership funding or some other resource contribution, and so lever-in additional resopurces for the historic environment, will be particularly welcomed. For eligible sources of partnership funding please see our Guidance Notes page.
We are happy to consider applications where joint funding is also being sought from English Nature and/or The Countryside Agency and/or CEFAS (for marine projects).

The Schools Committee of the Roman Society, in conjunction with the Roman Research Trust, invites applications for its new archaeological fieldwork bursaries for 16 to 18 year olds. These bursaries are made available partly by funding from the Roman Society, and partly by funding from the Roman Research Trust. All eligible applications will be considered for support from both funds; successful candidates will be told which fund their support comes from. The bursaries are designed to cover costs of up to £150 per week to enable applicants to participate on an archaeological project. The project should have some link to Roman studies.
To apply candidates should contact first the director/principal investigator of the project they wish to join. The director should then write a short letter (no more than one side of A4) confirming his/her willingness to take the candidate on the project. This letter should also specify what and how training will be provided, noting the staff/supervisor: digger/student ratio. It should also confirm that the candidate, if accepted on the project, would be fully insured. Finally, a copy of the project risk assessment/health and safety guidelines should accompany the letter from the director.
The candidate should then send a copy of the director’s letter and risk assessment, with a covering letter to Dr Helen Cockle, Society for the Promotion of Roman Studies, Senate House, University of London, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU by 19 May 2006. The covering letter should outline the applicant’s reasons for wishing to apply, their other sources of finance, and the amount requested. It should be clear from the letter exactly what costs the award is expected to cover.

Notes:
Most of the grants are for projects which rescue information in the face of unavoidable threats, or help to assess the threats to archaeological sites and landscapes. The commonest such threats are:
• coastal erosion and related natural processes;
• semi-natural processes such as rabbit damage orregeneration of woodland;
• gradual processes resulting from human activities, like the destruction of sites by agricultural ploughing.
Projects should be designed to increase public understanding and enjoyment. They must take account of the future of excavated structures after the fieldwork has been completed.
Archaeology grants can cover:
• fieldwork and its immediate reporting;
• rescue conservation of artefacts from the above work, although this is normally carried out through contracts between HS and commercial companies;
• specialists reports and laboratory analysis for material arising from the above work;
• publication of archaeological reports;
• sending of an archive of documents from the above work to RCAHMS;
• the disposal of finds to museums,
• exploration of a theme related to standing buildings or field-monuments, such as preservation of sites in wetlands;
• synthesis of projects funded by HS, including documentary research;
• publication of any archaeological, palaeoenvironmental, historical-architectural or cultural resource management work funded by HS; and of the excavations of deceased archaeologists.
• informing and educating the public about the archaeological work being undertaking;Deadline for the submissions of application forms to the teams is the last Friday of September.
How to apply for Grants
You should discuss your ideas with the HS Inspector whom you hope will support your application, and, particularly for projects involving fieldwork, you should get the (at least moral) support of the Local Authority archaeology service.

Notes:
This falls into two categories: (1) support for research projects from non-archaeological disciplines, where CBRL is actively seeking to encourage greater diversity among the projects that it supports; and (2) support for researchers undertaking initial exploratory work or a feasibility study with a view to preparing a later application for major funding from a research Council or the British Academy in due course.
Awards under either heading may be used to cover travel, round tables, seminars, or initial exploratory fieldwork.
In addition CBRL will assist such feasibility studies through the provision of its facilities and in establishing local contacts.
To be eligible under this scheme, a project must involve an element of travel to (or from) the Middle East.
Deadline: Completed applications and references must be received by the London Office by 1 December 2005

Notes:
The Society will support new projects of several years duration but normally expects proposals to have passed through a developmental phase under the Society’s guidance.
This usually involves the proposal being conceived in one of the Society’s Research Groups and, if appropriate and necessary, supported by a Project Development Grant.
The scope of all project proposals will have to be well-defined and focused in term of their research questions and methodology.
The Society will require project directors to provide a schedule for the completion of fieldwork and the preparation of reports and publications.
Further details about the Society’s management style and approach to projects is outlined in the Corpoarte Plan

Notes:
Its aim is to encourage excellence in archaeological drawing, including the preparation of finished drawings for publication. It is hoped that awards will help individuals to improve their standards of draughtsmanship and also enable the preparation of a larger number of drawings, of higher quality, than might otherwise have been possible.
Applications, to be submitted by January 31 or June 30 each year, should specify the name(s) of the proposed draughtsman/men. Individual applicants must show that drawings are an essential part of their research. Furthermore, although not a precondition, it is hoped that they may be draughtsmen themselves. Applications from project directors, who may also apply during the course of a field campaign, are limited to unexpected expenses that are not provided for in the project's budget, such as extra maintenance costs to enable a draughtsman to draw unforeseen material and finds.
Up to three grants per annum are available. Grants are unlikely to be more than £200. (The Fund does not support printing expenses, or site drawings such as plans and sections, or computer graphics.)
Candidates should submit letters of application to the School's London office by post in four copies (British School at Athens, Senate House, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU) or by email (bsa@sas.ac.uk).
Letters should not be longer than two pages and should include a statement of the purposes of the application and a budget and timetable for the proposed work, together with the name and address of a referee whom the awarding panel(s) may consult. Recipients of awards must have been admitted as members of the School for the appropriate session before receiving their grants, and must submit a short report on the use of the grant to the London office by October 31. The awards will be made by a panel or panels chosen by the School's Research Committee and will be announced within a month of the closing dates.

Notes:
Grants from the general fund are to assist research into prehistoric archaeology in any part of the world.
Open to Society members only.
The Society does not normally consider funding long-term projects other than in their initial stages. Preference is likely to be given to smaller-scale projects which are less likely to attract significant support from major sources of funding. Grants will not normally be given for work directly related to a higher degree.
The closing date is the first of January in each year.

Projects should be designed to increase public understanding and enjoyment. They must take account of the future of excavated structures after the fieldwork has been completed.
Archaeology grants can cover:
• fieldwork and its immediate reporting;
• rescue conservation of artefacts from the above work, although this is normally carried out through contracts between HS and commercial companies;
• specialists reports and laboratory analysis for material arising from the above work;
• publication of archaeological reports;
• sending of an archive of documents from the above work to RCAHMS;
• the disposal of finds to museums,

uksecretary@bsa.ac.uk Click to view website
Notes:
Its aim is to encourage excellence in archaeological drawing, including the preparation of finished drawings for publication. It is hoped that awards will help individuals to improve their standards of draughtsmanship and also enable the preparation of a larger number of drawings, of higher quality, than might otherwise have been possible.
Applications, to be submitted by January 31 or June 30 each year, should specify the name(s) of the proposed draughtsman/men. Individual applicants must show that drawings are an essential part of their research. Furthermore, although not a precondition, it is hoped that they may be draughtsmen themselves. Applications from project directors, who may also apply during the course of a field campaign, are limited to unexpected expenses that are not provided for in the project's budget, such as extra maintenance costs to enable a draughtsman to draw unforeseen material and finds.
Up to three grants per annum are available. Grants are unlikely to be more than £200. (The Fund does not support printing expenses, or site drawings such as plans and sections, or computer graphics.)
Candidates should submit letters of application to the School's London office by post in four copies (British School at Athens, Senate House, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU) or by email (bsa@sas.ac.uk).
Letters should not be longer than two pages and should include a statement of the purposes of the application and a budget and timetable for the proposed work, together with the name and address of a referee whom the awarding panel(s) may consult. Recipients of awards must have been admitted as members of the School for the appropriate session before receiving their grants, and must submit a short report on the use of the grant to the London office by October 31. The awards will be made by a panel or panels chosen by the School's Research Committee and will be announced within a month of the closing dates.
