SMI Grants

The SMI awards annually a number of small grants to its members of up to €400 in support of musicological research to assist post-graduate research students, non-affiliated scholars, or academics without recourse to institutional funds.

Applications should include a short CV, a brief description of the proposed research and its intended purpose, a proposed budget, and (if applicable) an account of awards received or applied for in connection with the project. A copy of a short letter of support from a supervisor or appropriate academic should also be included with the application. Applications will be considered on an on-going basis and the awards publicised on the SMI website.
