William Leech Research Fellowships were established in 1988 to enable individuals to carry out high-quality research projects in the area of Christian social ethics and practical theology in the North East of England. Grants are made for projects that engage with the people and churches of the region, develop theological reflection on practice, and seek to create social impact from dissemination of the research. Two kinds of Fellowship are available. One-year Fellowships are typically taken up at post-doctoral level by scholars near the beginning of their career, while shorter periods of supported leave are available for established scholars or clergy on sabbatical leave, or for lay people with appropriate interests and experience.
