Welcome to the NABS+ Early Career Researchers Hub

This is your space to find support, connect with others, and develop your career in behavioural and social science for security and defence.

Whether you’re looking for funding to present your research, hoping to find an experienced mentor, or keen to build your skills through our seminar series, you’ll find all our opportunities and resources here.

How We Support ECRs

Recent and ongoing opportunities include:

  • Grants of up to £250 to help you present your work at national and international conferences.

  • One-to-one mentoring with experienced researchers to build confidence and plan your career path.

  • Practical webinars and resources covering topics that matter to ECRs, from managing challenging research to developing new skills.

We’re also currently accepting applications through our Commissioning Call, which invites proposals for innovative, small-scale research projects addressing urgent and emerging challenges facing the UK. You can find out more on our dedicated Commissioning page.

This hub is here to help you make the most of your early research career. New opportunities and resources are added regularly, so check back often or sign up for our newsletter to stay up to date.

If you have any ideas or questions, please get in touch at nabs@lancaster.ac.uk 

We’d love to hear from you.
