Arts and Humanities Research Council Impact Acceleration Account
The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) Impact Acceleration Account (IAA) projects we fund are dedicated to generating a vibrant future for society and the economy through arts and humanities research.
This account is now funding projects through the Harmonised Impact Acceleration Account
Our projects place an emphasis on multidisciplinary and collaborative partnerships. Project funding will enhance the health and well-being of the world around us through values-driven creativity.
Aims
- focus on driving innovation in arts and humanities through ethical and engaged inquiry and collaboration with partners and communities
- support researchers to work at the forefront of contemporary challenges, bringing learning from the past and analysis of the present to imagine a new future
- support organisations, communities, and individuals that focus on preserving cultural assets and promoting environmental sustainability while driving economic development in de-industrialised areas, both locally and globally
- build and maintain partnerships using creative methods to support the recovery of the cultural sector from the pandemic.
Funding
As part of Cardiff University’s Harmonised Impact Acceleration Account (H-IAA), the AHRC IAA will support up to three open project calls in 2026. Details can be found on the Harmonised Impact Acceleration Account page.
