Hi - resident newbie here, I have decided to take the leap and try to do a Phd. I am currently looking to apply for funding from the AHRCm ERSPC but are there anymore out there.

It is something I really want to do - but at the moment I am finding it sooo overwhelming and daunting.

Any takers?

Hi yawningsleepy welcome on board. What area you wanting to do your PhD in, as sometimes there are charities you can apply to for extra money.

Hey,
thanks for getting back to me. Communitcations.
I have located 3 unis that i have my eye on.

I don't want to sound doomy, but communications is not a popular subject with the research councils in the open competitions & sits somewhere between the ESRC & AHRC and as you can only apply to one, you have to be very careful which & get some sound advice from your supervisor. Try and look for uni's which already have the funding in place, or have had a good success rate in the opens. This is unless you're doing a blue skies project, but again it depends what specific area of communications you are looking to go into though.
Good luck.

Thanks for that - it does seem a bit gloomy. I did not realise that if you apllied to AHRC you could not apply to ESPR (you know the one that I speaking about).
Thanks anyway!
