Council for British Research in the Levant

In 1998 the British Institute at Amman for Archaeology and History and the British School of Archaeology in Jerusalem amalgamated to create the Council for British Research in the Levant (CBRL).

The CBRL awards research and travel grants each year. Research grants are available to support archaeological and other humanities and social science subjects (economics, geography, historical studies, legal studies, languages and literature, linguistics, music, philosophy, politics, social anthropology, sociology, and theology/religious studies) working in the Levant (Cyprus, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine and Syria) during 2001. Travel grants will also be available to help students and junior researchers conduct smaller research projects in these subjects in the region.

Applications are invited from British citizens or those ordinarily resident in the UK or those attached to a UK institution. Application forms and information are available from The Secretary, CBRL, St Peter's College, Oxford, OX1 2DL (tel. 01865 431904; e-mail: cm@cbrluk.demon.co.uk). Completed applications and references for Research Grants should reach the Secretary no later than 15 November 2000. The closing date for Travel Grants is 15 January 2001.

The Director in Amman, PO Box 519, Jubeiha 11941, Amman, Jordan (e-mail: admin_cbrl@nets.com.jo) may be able to give advice on proposed research in Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, but cannot act as referee. An information sheet on current regulations for fieldwork in Jordan can also be obtained from the Director.

The Jerusalem Officer, c/o The British Council, Jerusalem (e-mail: cbrl@pop.actcom.co.il) may be able to give advice on proposed research in Israel, Palestine and Cyprus, but cannot act as referee. An information sheet on current regulations for fieldwork in Israel and Palestine is available from the Jerusalem Officer.
