Description:

RaAM Research Grant
Call for proposals

Goal:
The goal of the RaAM Research Grant project is to promote research on
all types of figurative language carried out by RaAM members. We
particularly encourage RaAM members to submit research proposals in
areas not yet well represented in metaphor research, whether it be
geographical areas, certain languages, or research in any area of
diversity, equity and inclusivity including gender, race, LGBTQIA
studies, etc. The ideal project will be a stand-alone study that can
be published as a journal article.

The RaAM Research Grant does not cover any costs associated to sharing
existing research (please refer to the RaAM Building Bridges Fund for
that) but rather it is meant to support the development of original
research. Applicants will be allowed to submit proposals for one of
these grants / funds only.

Requirement:
The principal investigator (PI) needs to have an active RaAM
membership at the application deadline and during the period during
which the grant is being carried out and the grant expectations
(below) are being fulfilled.

Applicants will be allowed to submit proposals for one grant / fund
only.

Application deadline: 30 April 2023
Timeframe of research project: 1 year
1 year: July 2023 – July 2024 (possibility of delaying start of the
project until September 2023)

Budget:
You can apply for up to 2000 GBP per project (total budget available
for this round for all projects: 4000 GBP).

Requests for funding may include: software, books, e-books, money to
pay participants in an offline or online experiment, economy class
travel for data collection, daily allowance for room/board for data
collection, or expenses related to a public engagement activity.

Requests for funding may not include: phones, computers, salary for an
assistant, attending conferences (note that there are separate
bursaries that can be applied for to attend a RaAM conference)

Half of the grant will be given to awardees at the start of the
project in July 2023. The remaining grant money must be submitted
within 13 months after the start date with copies of all the receipts
as well as all the expenditures clearly listed in an Excel file. In
addition, the below expectations must be fulfilled prior to getting
the second half of the grant.

Grant expectations:
If you receive this grant, you will be expected to provide:
 - a short abstract for the RaAM newsletter prior to the start of the
project (June 2023);
 - a short write-up of the results for the RaAM newsletter after you
complete the grant (June or October 2024);
 - a three-minute lightning presentation at the RaAM 2023 Annual
General Meeting.
In addition, we encourage the awardees to submit a full abstract to
the RaAM 2024 conference. We also request that any output (academic
books/articles/chapters or non-academic reports or events) acknowledge
the RaAM Research Grant and associated grant number and be reported to
the RaAM Executive Committee upon publication.

How to apply: follow the link. You need to be a RaAM member (https://w
