Grants.gov instructions for US applicants to BRAID-DOT (BDOT)

After reviewing the AHRC's funding announcement and NEH's Partnership Opportunity Notification, you will need to do the following to submit an eligible application for the BDOT program: 

  1. Submit a joint application to UKRI/AHRC's Funding Service grant management system. This application must be submitted by the lead UK organization by Thursday, March 20.  Make sure to jot down your “Funding Service application reference number”, which is provided by AHRC, as you will need to include that when you also apply to NEH.
  2. Submit a copy of the complete AHRC application to NEH via Grants.gov using this link: https://grants.gov/search-results-detail/358153. The Notice of Funding Opportunity is available under “Download Instructions” on the Opportunity Package Details page. The copy of the application must be submitted by the lead US organization by 11:59pm on Monday, March 24.

Please note that a Grants.gov application that does not have a matching application submitted to UKRI’s Funding Service will be declared ineligible.

  1.  Before applying, your organization must be registered with the System for Award Management and Grants.gov.
  2. Note that there are two application packages in Grants.gov; you should select the package for “projects led by a single researcher” if your project has a single US scholar and “projects led by collaborative teams” if there are two or more US scholars on the project.
  3. The application must be submitted by the Institutional Grants Administrator at the lead US organization. Applications submitted by project directors or other project staff will be declared ineligible.
  4. In preparing the cover sheet, the title should match the title used for the AHRC application.
  5. Include the Funding Service application reference number in the Description of Project section of the cover sheet along with a brief project description. The Funding Service application reference number will be provided to the UK organization from AHRC upon receipt of their application.
  6. The entire application submitted to AHRC should be submitted to the NEH, via Grants.gov, as a single PDF attachment. You do not need to separate out the sections to map to the Attachments shown in the DOT Notice of Funding Opportunity.
  7. Complete required Grants.gov forms as instructed in the DOT Notice of Funding Opportunity.
