Previous CDF Awards
For over a decade, SGSAH’s Cohort Development Fund (CDF) has supported researcher-led initiatives that respond directly to the training needs of doctoral researchers in the Arts & Humanities. Grounded in the belief that the best ideas for PhD training come from PhD researchers themselves, the fund has enabled them to identify gaps, propose solutions, and deliver innovative, inclusive and collaborative training across Scotland.
