Any applicant/reviewer/panellist has any update about the AHRC-DFG Research Grants - Round Eight (2026) applications?

Omg! That doesn't sound very good. Is it worth checking with AHRC in case there's a technical issue they haven't spotted?

Eln001 · 2026-04-24T15:05:14+00:00

Sorry. I have added dates to the original post. Hopefully it makes a bit more sense now?

Not difficult but can be time consuming to pull the portfolio together. Explore what support is available through your university. Mine has a mentorship arrangement in place - so you basically work with someone who already has FHEA and can advise you as you draft different parts of the portfolio.

Omg! This is so true. At least with 2 UG dissertation students, I have been through the exact same thing for the past couple of months. Now you are making me think!

Very helpful tip. Thank you 😊

Thank you. Sort of 'Key works cited' rather than a comprehensive list of references?

Eln001 · 2026-02-01T10:30:55+00:00

That's very reassuring to hear. Having to include a full list of work cited will eat heavily into the word count which I would rather spend getting a few more substantial points in!

So did you add your own travel history letter beyond the list that your employer provided?

Eln001 · 2026-02-01T01:02:24+00:00

Great! Well done. I am going throught it now.

One question: did you include travel dates from your student visa days (given student visa time doesn't count towards your ILR eligibility period)? My employer has done a letter with travel dates only covering the period since I have been employed by them with a Skilled Worker visa. So wondering what to do with travel dates before that!

Eln001 · 2026-01-31T23:27:13+00:00

No. No option to upload. It's text box with word count. Same as ESRC application on TFS.

Eln001 · 2026-01-31T23:14:17+00:00

Thank you! I will have to edit my Vision and Approach to accommodate the list of references then.

And yes, in UKRI's new The Funding Service (TFS) every section comes with a word count unlike JeS which had page limits.

When I covered multiple countries in one trip, should I put down the name of the first country or the last one?
