Michaelmas Term

INT writes to all Colleges in early Michaelmas Term inviting Colleges to consider whether they wish to make partnerships with a Faculty or Departments in the Art, Humanities or Social Sciences (interpreted broadly, for example, to include Human Geography).

At the same time, INT writes to the Schools of Arts & Humanities and Humanities & Social Sciences (SHSS) and asks them to invite interest from their Faculties and Departments.  SHSS may decide at that stage to support one or more subject with the required 30% contribution; other subjects may need to rely on trust funds or fund-raising to find the required contribution.

Colleges and subjects interested in making partnerships should contact the Director at the earliest opportunity.

Lent Term

Partnerships should be agreed as soon as possible in order for applications to be made no later than 21 February 2025 for consideration by the Trustees at their meeting in early March. Applications should comprise a letter (two pages of A4 at a maximum) signed off by the Head of Institution and College(s) concerned.  In the event that more partnerships are proposed than there is funding available, the Trustees will decide which to prioritise. Approved partnerships will then proceed to draw up an MOU.

Please send applications to the Director.

Easter Term

Partners agree on the procedure and timetable for recruitment for appointments to begin in September or October of that year.

Supplementary Support for Eligible Colleges

In addition to the INT’s own contribution to the ACDF, the Trustees will consider providing a supplementary award to cover all or part of the eligible college’s 30% contribution less the cost of 80 hours per annum supervision at the hourly rate, if a suitable case for extra support is made.

Stipendiary INT JRFs and ACDF supplements are alternative ways of supporting AHSS subjects in eligible colleges. 

Please note that an eligible college may have an ACDF, but not with an ACDF supplement, while it also has a Stipendiary INT JRF in post. 

Colleges with stipendiary INT JRFs in post cannot apply for an ACDF with an ACDF supplement until the Lent Term of the INT JRF's final year.
