The UK National Academies (The Academy of Medical Sciences, The British Academy, The Royal Academy of Engineering and The Royal Society) have launched an £8 million call for interdisciplinary Challenge-led Grants with a focus on resilience, as part of the Global Challenges Research Fund.
The awards will support interdisciplinary Research Consortia across all academic disciplines to develop and lead interdisciplinary research projects which focus on developing new approaches to significant and complex resilience problems facing developing countries. The Research Consortia will consist of one UK research group and two research groups from developing countries.
Each award provides 2.5 years of support and is worth up to £500,000. The funding can be used for research expenses, equipment, travel, networking costs, and training and skills development.
Deadline for application is 11 September 2018 3:00pm UK time.
