Targeted Research Panel Funding 

Join BAAS

Each year, we invite applications for two Targeted Research Panels for the BAAS conference. Targeted Research Panels aim to support, promote, and feature the production of research by people of colour, LGBTQ+ communities and disability communities. BAAS will provide funding of £5000 over three years, to facilitate research to be shared in panels/presentations at the next conference and either of the two subsequent conferences.

This page will be updated after the release of the Digital BAAS 2027 Call for Papers with details on how to apply.

In previous years, we have invited proposals for fully formed panels, in addition to a short statement of no more than 500 words explaining how the proposed panel addresses the production of research by people of colour, LGBTQ+ communities, disability communities and scholars without regularised institutional support. 

If you have any enquiry, please reach out to trp@baas.ac.uk, copying in conferences@baas.ac.uk

To discuss ideas informally, please contact the conference organisers and/or the BAAS TRP lead Dr Riziki Millanzi.
