The £7 million Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) Digital R&D Fund for the Arts provides funding of up to £125k per project to generate knowledge for the wider UK arts sector. It focuses on new digital projects that enhance audience reach and develop new business models. A two-stage application process provides initial Expressions of Interest, with successful projects invited to submit full applications. Funded projects must involve collaboration between an arts organization, technology provider, and research team, testing digital propositions within themes like social media and data/archives. The selection process evaluates proposals' innovation, potential research impact, strength of collaboration, and plans for disseminating results.
