Grants of £15,000 to £750,000 to support research to understand the barriers and pathways to a racially just and inclusive society in the UK.

Funded by an endowment that supports work relating to the Commonwealth, means our interest is in the future of UK society as shaped by its colonial past; specifically, by the migration of people from former British colonies to the UK, and the accompanying dynamics of racialisation, resources and power which have produced the UK’s distinct racial diversity and its patterns of racial discrimination and inequality. Within this context we take a broad view of racial diversity as covering all racial or ethnic groups living in the UK, including White populations.

It will be broad in its reach, interested in questions of socio-economic equality, senses of place, belonging and identity, barriers to and opportunities for inclusion, demographic trajectories, and the interrelationship between these themes.

The fund encourages applicants from diverse backgrounds, particularly from individuals and organisations from racially minoritised communities.

We strongly encourage partnership applications which bring together researchers and racially minoritised to explore challenges and develop solutions.

There will be a 2 stage application process with initial outline required by: Monday 14th October
