Get matched →The Royal Irish Academy Standing Committee for Archaeology manages and distributes annual funding from the National Monuments Service (NMS) to support research into the archaeology of specific World Heritage Sites and Tentative List sites in Ireland. Applications for 2026 are now open.
Applications are accepted for archaeological research that does not involve excavation or damage to sites. This may include activities such as mapping, LIDAR scanning, building and earthwork surveys, geophysical investigations, fieldwalking, pollen analysis, soil sampling, and public engagement projects related to archaeology.
This funding scheme is open to professional archaeologists and archaeological researchers. It is not available to undergraduate students, postgraduate students, or PhD candidates.
Funding can be used for research costs, specialist fees, travel and subsistence, and post-excavation work including staff time, project management and general running costs, specialist materials and supplies, travel and accommodation, fees for expert consultants, and scientific testing and analysis. Salary costs are covered if you need to take time off your regular job and wouldn’t be paid otherwise, and are not being paid from another source at the same time.
