Development Geographies Research Group (DevGRG) PG Research and Travel Award
The DevGRG PG Research and Travel Award is aimed at those preparing for a PhD in topics related to development geographies. Applicants should be based at a UK institution of higher education, but may be of any nationality.
The award can be used to support Development Geography research and fieldwork. This includes the costs of in-country research assistance (for fieldwork anywhere in the world, including the UK), costs of undertaking archival work overseas, and costs associated with conducting virtual research, as long as they fall within the remit of supporting primary data collection for a Development Geography-focused PhD.
The award can also cover travel costs for undertaking international fieldwork. This can include costs related to caring responsibilities that are directly incurred as a result of the applicant’s travel.
The award is £800, although smaller awards are sometimes made.
We are running this prize every other year.
The next deadline to submit will be in July 2026, with details made available nearer the time.
