Strengthening Foundations of Federalism in Nepal
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
In addition, the programme through other components like Coherence supports local elected leaders, local government associations, and provincial and federal government to promote inclusive decision-making processes and capacity of local governments (input code: 15150- democratic participation and civil society). A modest pilot is also being implemented to test if issues-based approach to development problem solving will promote state-citizen engagement and improve development outcomes especially those contributing to a meaningful inclusion of women and marginalised groups. Both coherence and the pilot will be grounded in evidence and regular political economy analysis (isc: 43082, 15170 - governance research; women's equality organizations and institutions)
Ocean Country Partnership Programme
Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs
The Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP) supports countries to manage the marine environment more sustainably, including by strengthening marine science expertise, developing science-based policy and management tools and creating educational resources for coastal communities. The programme is funded through official development assistance (ODA) as part of the UK’s £500 million Blue Planet Fund. Through the OCPP, the UK government partners with ODA-eligible countries to deliver positive impacts for coastal communities that depend on healthy marine ecosystems. Bilateral partnerships under the OCPP are primarily delivered by the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas), the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) and the Marine Management Organisation (MMO), agencies of the UK government that possess unique expertise in marine science and management. The OCPP also funds two international initiatives that align with its aims and help to develop global public goods, the Global Ocean Accounts Partnership (GOAP) and the Friends of Ocean Action (FOA). GOAP is a global, multi-stakeholder partnership established to enable countries and other stakeholders to effectively measure and manage progress towards sustainable ocean development. FOA is a platform hosted by the World Economic Forum in collaboration with the World Resources Institute, which brings together ocean leaders from a wide range of sectors to encourage action and investment into sustainable ocean projects.
The Evidence Fund - 300708
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
The Evidence Fund procures and manages research and evaluations that primarily benefit ODA eligible countries. Most research and evaluations paid for by the Evidence Fund are country-specific, and all respond to requests for evidence to inform programme or policy decisions. Primarily serving research requests from HMG’s Embassies and High Commissions in ODA eligible countries, and from HMG policy and strategy teams, the Evidence Fund strengthens the evidence behind the UK’s priority international development investments and development diplomacy. The Evidence Fund also invests modest amounts of non-ODA, to strengthen the evidence behind wider UK foreign policy.

British Academy - ODA International Interdisciplinary Research Projects -International Science Partnerships Fund
DEPARTMENT FOR SCIENCE, INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY
This funding initiative aims to foster international collaborations between early career researchers in the UK and their counterparts in Brazil, Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Kenya, Malaysia, Philippines, South Africa, Turkey, Thailand, Vietnam, and Least Developed Countries. By focusing on interdisciplinary research in the humanities and social sciences that is ODA-eligible, the program seeks to address global challenges through problem-focused, creatively innovative, and exploratory research. Projects should leverage diverse disciplinary perspectives for maximum impact, aligning with the International Science Partnerships Fund (ISPF) thematic priorities. This activity, led by the British Academy with significant financial contributions from the Israel Science Foundation and the University of Virginia, and potential support from the Volkswagen Foundation, aims to support award-level partnerships across multiple countries. The Academy's goal is to enable equitable research partnerships that deliver excellence in understanding key global challenges. The flexible and scalable nature of the funding ensures it can support a wide range of partnerships, emphasizing the inclusion of at least one ISPF priority country in each project. This approach ensures that the research not only advances academic knowledge but also addresses the broader goals of international development and cooperation, fulfilling the primary objective of ODA to promote the economic development and welfare of developing countries.
British Academy - International Writing Workshops - International Science Partnerships Fund
DEPARTMENT FOR SCIENCE, INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY
This activity brings together researchers from the priority countries, LDCs and the UK, journal editors and early career researchers in LDCs and priority countries in order to: support the development of early career academics with promise; promote uptake of Global South research in journals; and increase scholarly interaction between UK and researchers in LDCs and the priority countries. In advancing their careers, early career researchers from LDCs and priority countries are encouraged, supported and mentored in: developing competitive research publications in the humanities and social sciences; drafting grant applications; and building networks and connections with and beyond the UK. This also helps to develop mentoring and support networks that live long after the awards themselves. The call will require applicants to focus their awards on and with partners in LDCs and/or ODA ISPF priority countries.
Academy of Medical Sciences - Transition Activity & Delivery
DEPARTMENT FOR SCIENCE, INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY
Funding to enable Academy of Medical Sciences to engage in the development of the new International Science Partnerships fund, including scoping and networking, and for interim activities to maintain partnerships and capacity in the transition from Newton Fund and the Global Challenges Research Fund to the new fund.
Academy of Medical Sciences - International Career Development Programme -International Science Partnerships Fund
DEPARTMENT FOR SCIENCE, INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY
This programme builds on the Academy's extensive experience of developing programmes to support UK researchers through mentoring, tailored training in leadership, entrepreneurship and research soft skills and cohort-building Drawing on our experience of the ODA capacity building workshops piloted in 2022 and on recommendations that will emerge from the clinical research capacity building project, the career development programme will focus on identifying and fostering global best practice in supporting and connecting emerging research leaders across the health sciences sector (clinical, non-clinical, industry). Topics discussed and resources will be developed around wider leadership and entrepreneurship training, building supportive cohorts and in the second year connecting our UK cohorts with international emerging leaders for to exchange knowledge, foster collaborations and extend networks within life sciences. This activity potentially stimulate additional research impact by supporting researchers to thrive in their careers through opportunities for training, mentorship and cohort building, and also influence practice in terms of developing ways to support research careers and sharing best practice between UK and other countries. In addition, strengthen research capacity in developing countries by raising awareness and helping with the implementation of career support programmes that are important for researchers to thrive and be supported in carrying out their research, and working in partnership with organisations in partner countries, sharing best practice and forming connections between researchers in the UK and partner countries will strengthen the perceptions of UK research leadership and as a leader in the area of career development support. As with the global policy workshops, the ODA regional workshops will be developed and hosted in the ODA-eligible partner country and all outputs will be targeted towards the ODA-eligible partner country or region.
