International Development Research @ Cambridge

 

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.

Objectives

This Wellcome Trust award aims to support large collaborative research projects of teams with outstanding research track records (usually 2-6 PI/Co-Is with track record of collaboration). Funding is available for anything that a team might require in terms of research expenses and support.

Eligibility

Research teams from the  UK, Republic of Ireland, Low-or middle-income countries.

You can apply for a Collaborative Award if you have a team of two to six principal applicants. Each applicant should have a good track record in their area of research, relative to their career stage. They can be from the same university department or a number of organisations (anywhere in the world).

Important factors when we evaluate your application are:

  • the environment in which you do your research
  • the support your host organisation provides
  • the time you'll spend on the Collaborative Award, and how it fits in with your other academic commitments.

Level of funding

Up to £1.5 million, up to 5 years
