British Academy International Fellowships 2027
The British Academy International Fellowships 2027 is due to open in early/ mid-January 2027 and close by March 2027. The British Academy has introduced demand management for this scheme and we will be capped at 8 submissions from the institution. The Strategic Research Initiatives Team will be coordinating the selection process for University of Glasgow applications.
University of Glasgow Selection Process and Timings
Applicants are requested to first liaise with their respective Schools or Colleges to identify a potential host/ sponsor and work on their application forms. External candidates are encouraged to contact the appropriate College Research Support office or researchinitiatives@glasgow.ac.uk
Applicants are then required to submit a completed application form (including sponsor statement) and an up-to-date brief CV (max. 3 pages, which also lists their key publications and research funding track record to date) to researchinitiatives@glasgow.ac.uk by 4 pm on 18 January 2027, also cc-ing in their College Research Support offices.
To request a copy of the application form, or if you have any questions about this process, please e-mail researchinitiatives@glasgow.ac.uk.
Use of AI in Application Development
Applications submitted to internal demand management and quality management processes at the University of Glasgow are expected to comply with the University of Glasgow's Generative AI Guidance for Researchers and the Funders joint statement: use of generative AI tools in funding applications and assessment.
All applicants should review these documents and are responsible for ensuring any application they submit complies with the guidance and parameters provided. Key points we would like to highlight from these resources include:
- Any use of generative AI tools must be accompanied by critical analysis and oversight on the part of the user
- Work that is not your own effort or is without appropriately transparent acknowledgement of sources or tools used (e.g. work submitted that is the product of Generative AI) does not meet crucial requirements for assessment or academic/research integrity
- Applicants must not use generative AI tools to generate an entire application, or sections of an application, without human involvement
- Reviewers must not input our confidential funding applications into generative AI tools to develop their reviews
