Get matched →The Royal Irish Academy’s Standing Committee for Archaeology manages and awards funding provided each year by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, through the National Monuments Service. Applications for AARG 2027 are now open.
Funding is provided to support research and analysis of artifacts and other materials from excavations in Ireland (including Northern Ireland), as long as the excavation was not funded by the RIA. Most grants awarded will be between €5,000 and €20,000.
This scheme is open to archaeologists and archaeology researchers, including undergraduate, postgraduate, and PhD students, for work based in Ireland (including Northern Ireland).
You can apply for funding to cover research costs (such as specialist fees, services, materials, travel, and accommodation) and salary costs if you need to take time off your regular job, wouldn’t be paid otherwise, and are not being paid from another source. Follow-up research from developer-led excavations is also covered, provided all licensing requirements have been met.
Every listing links to the organizer's official page. Always confirm deadlines, fees, and entry rules there before you apply.
