Cohort Development Funding - Scottish Graduate School for Arts and Humanities

Information about the Scottish Graduate School for Arts and Humanities (SGSAH) Cohort Development Fund

SGSAH are the world’s first national graduate school in the Arts and Humanities, home of Scotland's AHRC Doctoral Landscape Award Hub. Working with our supporters in the arts, culture, creative and heritage sectors, we provide outstanding training opportunities for doctoral researchers in Scotland.


The Cohort Development Fund allows SGSAH to support unique initiatives directed towards supporting the disciplinary and interdisciplinary training needs of doctoral researchers in the Arts & Humanities.

The Cohort Development Fund aims to support SGSAH doctoral researchers to work collaboratively to develop and improve doctoral training across Scotland, by funding them to:

  • develop/deliver training that is not possible/viable for individual institutions and is in the vanguard of the field(s);
  • develop/deliver accessible training that is innovative in scope, subject and/or delivery model;
  • lead the development of research training in their discipline(s);
  • develop strong, sustainable and inclusive peer networks among SGSAH researchers;
  • build capacity among the student body to identify, lead, manage and/or deliver their own training;
  • develop doctoral researcher capacity in grant proposal writing.
