The British Institute of Persian Studies invites applications for its newly established Outreach Project Grants.

The BIPS Outreach Project Grant supports outreach projects that promote the knowledge of the Persianate world among a non-academic audience. Projects can range from exhibitions to workshops, lecture series and events for the general public, must have a clear outreach goal and be geared towards audiences which do not normally have access to scholarship on the Persianate world.

Applicants must be affiliated to (not necessarily employed by) a UK-based university, institute of higher education, a UK museum or a registered charity. All applications must be accompanied with a safeguarding risk assessment and must be compliant with the ethical policies of the affiliated and host institution.

BIPS will not fund travel to any country where the FCDO does not advise travel.

Awards are limited to £2,000.

The deadline for submitting applications is Friday 31st January 2025, 5PM GMT.
