Royal Society -International Collaboration Awards -International Science Partnerships Fund
Project disclaimer
Description
The International Collaboration Awards (ICAs) provide crucial funding to support outstanding emerging research leaders in the UK and either Brazil or South Africa in developing research collaborations that primarily address development challenges faced by developing countries, with strong encouragement to include a Least Developed Country (LDC) in the partnership. This ODA-funded program is designed to foster sustainable collaborative research partnerships, aimed at generating innovative approaches to tackle significant and complex problems prevalent in developing nations. The grants, open to newly independent researchers who are ready to lead international research initiatives, will strengthen research capacity through the collaboration, sharing of knowledge and skills, and exchange of staff between UK institutions and their partners in developing countries. By attracting top international scientists to work with UK’s leading universities, this program enhances the research quality and impact on global development challenges, aligning with the primary objective of ODA to promote the economic development and welfare of developing countries. The Royal Society will offer grants up to £225k over three years, with an additional £25k per year for capacity strengthening in African Least Developed Country (LDC), ensuring the funding is used flexibly on activities directly relevant to the proposed research collaboration.
