Archaeology Research Excavation Grants
The Royal Irish Academy, together with the National Monuments Service runs an annual grant scheme for Archaeological Research Excavations.
This is the only fund in Ireland which supports independent research excavations in the Republic of Ireland and welcomes applications for new excavations, continuing excavations and post excavation work. This longstanding fund has financed more than 100 excavations in Ireland, thus enabling scholars to make a substantial contribution to our knowledge of the past.
The Archaeology Research Excavation Grants scheme 2021 opened on 8th September and closed on 15th October 2020.
