About this program
The Royal Astronomical Society (RAS) offers competitive grants to support studies and activities in astronomy and geophysics across multiple streams, including education and outreach, history of the disciplines, conference and travel support, instrumentation (RAS Tomkins awards), meeting organisation, research projects, observing/field trips (including the E.A. Milne Travelling Fellowship), summer school and undergraduate bursaries, postdoctoral fellowships, Paneth Trust internships, and international capacity‑building and visiting expert programmes. Applications are assessed twice yearly with deadlines on 20 February and 20 August, and awards are typically announced within approximately three months of review. Eligibility depends on the specific scheme but is generally open to applicants conducting astronomy or geophysics research or related activities (some awards are UK‑only or limited by career stage); applicants should consult the scheme‑specific criteria and apply via the RAS application form.
