International Development Research @ Cambridge

 

The Wellcome Trust's Collaborative Awards promote the development of new ideas and bring disciplines together to speed the pace of discovery. This scheme funds teams who are tackling major health-related questions in the humanities and social sciences that require a collaborative approach.

The Wellcome Trust strongly encourages applications that combine humanities and social science research with biomedical science research and/or product development and applied research. 

The Trust is looking for teams with a track record of working together to tackle research questions that can only be approached collaboratively. Teams can come from the same discipline or from a combination of disciplines. They can be from the same university department or a number of organisations (anywhere in the world).

A Collaborative Award is normally in the range of £1 million to £1.5 million, for up to five years. Applicants should ask for a level and duration of funding that's justifiable for their career stage, research experience and the proposed research programme. Support covers research expenses, including research assistance or PhDs, research/teaching replacement, and conference and meeting costs.
