The Royal Society’s ISPF International Collaboration Awards provide funding for outstanding emerging research leaders in the UK to develop international research collaborations. The scheme is currently open for collaboration with partners in Brazil and South Africa on ODA-eligible projects.
The scheme’s objectives are to:
- Support the development of sustainable and mutually beneficial collaborative partnerships and the growth of international research networks
- Enable newly independent researchers to generate new approaches to challenging research questions
- Build capabilities of newly independent researchers and their groups to conduct, manage, share and apply high quality research through sharing of knowledge, skills and exchange of people
The research must be within the Royal Society’s remit of natural sciences, which includes but is not limited to biological research and biomedical sciences, chemistry, engineering, mathematics and physics.
Funding is available for up to £300k over 3 years and can cover research expenses; travel and subsistence; contribution towards research assistance; technical and non-technical training. Applicants must be newly independent UK-based researchers, with a newly independent collaborator based overseas, both of whom are building their own research groups. Proposals must be co-developed.
