Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) is the UK funding body for the arts and humanities.   Each year the AHRC provides funding from the Government to support research and postgraduate study in the arts and humanities. Only applications of the highest quality and excellence are funded.  Research supported by this investment provides social and cultural benefits and also contributes to the economic success of the UK.  For further information on the AHRC, please see www.ahrc.ac.uk. 
The AHRC Block Grant Partnership scheme provides funding at Master's and doctoral level to Research Organisations that have shown strong evidence of excellent strategic planning for, and delivery of, high quality postgraduate research and training in the arts and humanities. It enables long-term planning for the support of high quality postgraduate research and training by allocating awards to five annual cohorts of postgraduate students.  Please see http://www.ahrc.ac.uk/News/Latest/Pages/pgpostsconfirmed.aspx
