The Music Analysis Development Fund offers support for travel and subsistence to UK-based students and scholars working in the discipline of music analysis to attend conferences in the UK or abroad, to consult library and archival resources, or to pursue other comparable research activities. Individual grants will not normally exceed £500; in exceptional circumstances grants of up to £750 will be considered. Grants will, exceptionally, be given to non-UK based scholars.
The Board will also consider requests from individuals for forms of support other than those detailed above. Such requests might concern, for instance, the acquisition of digital scans or photocopies of sources, or assistance with the preparation of material for publication.
Criteria governing the award of such grants are: i) the academic strength of the planned research and its relevance to the study of music analysis; ii) the financial need. Applicants should therefore give a brief (c. 300-word) account of the research to be undertaken and/or research material to be obtained, explaining its relevance to music analysis. They should also give details of any other applications for support that have been made, or should explain why funding is not available from other sources. A draft budget must be provided on application. Student applications should be supported by a letter of reference from their supervisor.
