Eva Koch Scholarships

The Eva Koch scholarships provide support and time for individuals to work on research, documentation and creative projects.​

Gerald Hodgett Award

The Gerald Hodgett award is for individuals or groups who have completed research at a British university and would like to present it more widely to British Quakers. If your research could benefit Quakers in Britain in any way, the Gerald Hodgett award may be able to help you present it to them.

Funding

Funding for Quaker research comes from a relatively small but interconnected ecosystem of Quaker institutions, trusts, universities, and charitable foundations.  Quaker research remains a niche academic field with relatively modest funding compared with larger religious traditions. Much research is therefore sustained by a mixture of institutional support, charitable giving, voluntary scholarly networks, and the personal commitment of researchers themselves. This funding pattern also shapes the character of the field: contemporary Quaker research often reflects the priorities of liberal Quaker institutions, including concerns around inclusion, activism, spirituality, peacebuilding, and social transformation, alongside more traditional historical and theological scholarship.​
