Funding from the Institute
BIPS welcomes applications to fund research programme to assist scholars at postgraduate and postdoctoral level wishing to pursue research in all fields of Persian Studies. Applicants should contact the Secretary or fill in the forms provided online, and return them to the BIPS before 15 May 2006.
Grants are awarded once a year in the early summer.
BIPS also awards travel grants. Applicants should submit a brief A4-sized typed proposal outlining:
- the project they have in mind
- the time scale
- itinerary
- and breakdown of expenses.
This should be accompanied by a reference in a sealed envelope from an academic who knows the student's work.Students should not expect a bursary to cover all the costs of a journey to Iran; they should be prepared to supplement it from other sources.
Grants will be paid after the students have obtained a visa.
Applications should be sent to:
