As one of the British International Research Institutes (BIRI), the BIAA is able to act as a hosting institution for British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowships, Mid-Career Fellowships and Senior Research Fellowships. Applicants may include time spent at a BIRI institution. Details of available grant schemes may be found at http://www.britac.ac.uk/funding-opportunities.
The BIRI network includes the British School at Athens, British School at Rome, British Institute in Eastern Africa, British Institute of Persian Studies, British Institute at Ankara, Society for Libyan Studies and the Council for British Research in the Levant. See http://www.britac.ac.uk/british-international-research-institutes for further information.
The primary base for a co-hosted British Academy Research Fellowship may be a UK University or a BIRI. In the event that the primary base is a University, there should be specific arrangements in place for the award-holder to spend regular periods of time during the Fellowship working in association with the BIRI. The institutions involved would need to agree a cost-sharing package to cover direct and indirect costs. The total cost should not exceed the normal total for the grant. Candidates or institutions wishing to discuss the possibility of connecting a Fellowship with the BIAA should contact the BIAA Director.
