Team-based Awards

These awards are for team-based fieldwork proposals within the Levant. Applications should be for strategic projects that will enhance the profile of UK research in the Levant and which offer the support and commitment of the applicant’s own institution. Awards will normally be up to £5,000.

Awards will normally be up to £7,500.
