[Commlist] grants from Sir Lenny Henry Centre for Media Diversity

The Sir Lenny Henry Centre for Media Diversity t Birmingham City 
University is offering 5 grants of up to £3K each in the current 
financial year to support short turnaround research. The purpose of the 
PIMID research grants is to better inform policy and practice that will 
address diversity deficits across different sectors of the media industry. 

The PIMID grants are open to media practitioners with a minimum of 5 
years professional experience who wish to look more closely at the 
challenges and opportunities in their own sector. Each successful 
applicant will be teamed with an academic mentor and the research will 
need to be completed by May 31st 2021. 

We would expect the research to take 4 weeks full time or 8-12 weeks 
part time. The findings would be considered for publication in the
