Funded 2021/22- Endangered Material Knowledge Program: (Deadline 18 January 2022)

Applications are open for the Endangered Material Knowledge Program 2021/2022. The program offers small and large grants to document material knowledge systems that are under threat and in danger of disappearing. This includes knowledge systems associated with the making, use, repair, and re-purposing of material objects, spaces, architecture, performances, and environments.

In order to qualify for these grants, these knowledge systems must still be actively pursued or at least practiced within the living memory of the knowledge holders. The Endangered Material Knowledge Program (EMKP) does not support work to revitalize a lost or forgotten tradition.

Financial Benefits from Endangered Material Knowledge Program 

  • Small Grants can last up to one year with a maximum award of £20,000. Small Grants are intended for projects that are focused on a specific/individual material practice and which are limited in scope. They are also suitable for initial pilot work to establish the nature and extent of material knowledge systems where these might not be previously known, or for early career applicants who are building new projects.
  • Large Grants can last up to two years with a maximum award of £100,000. Large Grants are suitable for mature projects where intensive and more diverse documentation is proposed, a larger team is needed, multiple strands of work are happening simultaneously, and/or more time is needed to complete the documentation (e.g. because of seasonal cycles of working).

Eligibility Required for Endangered Material Knowledge Program 

  • Applicants from across the world can apply for grants irrespective of nationality, although they must be affiliated with an institution that can provide independent oversight and reports to EMKP.
  • There is no restriction on where the proposed work can be carried out; however, strong preference is given to projects in regions and countries where there is limited financial support available for research.

Eligible Costs

  • The grants cover all relevant fieldwork and documentation costs including equipment, travel, subsistence, and allowances for research assistants and community members involved in the project. They do not fund replacement teaching/salary costs for the Principal Investigator or Collaborators or institutional overhead/administrative costs.

Application Instructions

If you are considering an application for the 2021/2022 round of grants, carefully consider the viability. And ethics of conducting this work within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic before you apply.

EMKP places the highest priority on the health and welfare of grantees, community members, and knowledge holders. And, will not support any projects that jeopardize this or fail to plan appropriately. In your application will be asked to demonstrate what protective measures you will take in your proposed work.
