Arts and Humanities Research Council

The Arts and Humanities Research Council [AHRC] is a Non-Departmental Public body that came into existence on 1 April 2005. The AHRC evolved from the Arts and Humanities Research Board and are currently sponsored by the Department for Business Innovation and Skills (previously DIUS).

The vision of the AHRC is to be a recognised world leader in advancing arts and humanities research with its commitment to funding research of world-class quality undertaken by individuals as well as teams, by researchers at different stages of their careers, across a range of disciplines and through a variety of mechanisms. The AHRC maintains its necessary distinctiveness by funding large-scale collaborative research: ‘big arts and humanities’. At any one time it is funding about 2000 researchers on collaborative projects and about 200 undertaking individual research, representing one seventh of the arts and humanities research base.
