Am I eligible to apply?This scheme is open to world-class researchers (scientists and engineers) of outstanding achievement. Research must be within the of natural sciences, which includes but is not limited to biological research, chemistry, engineering, mathematics and physics. The Royal Society does not cover clinical medicine (such as patient orientated research and clinical trials), social sciences or humanities, other than when working in partnership with organisations. The scheme is open to applicants of all nationalities; applications are particularly welcomed from internationally renowned researchers currently residing outside of the UK. Royal Society Research Professors requiring a visa to work in the UK are eligible for the Research and Innovation Talent Visa, i.e. the Tier 1 Exceptional Talent Visa, under the accelerated process of endorsement.

The British Council, under the Newton Fund, invites proposals for its researcher links workshop grants for the UK, Brazil and Jordan. These support workshops bringing together a bilateral cohort of early-career researchers from the UK, Brazil and Jordan that support research areas relevant to the development of the partner countries. The purpose is to contribute to the economic development and social welfare of low- and middle-income countries, benefiting low income and vulnerable populations in these countries. All proposals must demonstrate a plausible pathway showing how research may lead to a positive impact on these populations within a timeframe of three to 15 years. Workshops may focus on a specific research area or an interdisciplinary theme. Proposals in any discipline or multidisciplinary area are supported, including the natural and social sciences, arts and humanities, however, the following areas are prioritised: 鈥驳谤颈肠耻濒迟耻谤别; 鈥limate and environment; 鈥ustainable energy for all; 鈥ducation research for development; 鈥conomic growth; 鈥别补濒迟丑; 鈥ater and sanitation; 鈥ood and nutrition; 鈥emographic change and migration; 鈥ural and urban development; 鈥苍蹿谤补蝉迟谤耻肠迟耻谤别; 鈥umanitarian disasters and emergencies, disaster risk reduction; 鈥esilient and connected communities; 鈥overnance, society and conflict; 鈥evelopment-relevant data collection, quality and access. Each proposal must have one principal applicant from the UK and one from a partner country. Principal applicants must be permanent employees of a non-profit HEI, a UK HEI, a non-profit research organisation or a catapult centre. There is no limit to the number of applications per institution. For-profit organisations may participate but cannot receive funding. Workshops are expected to take place in the partner country, but may be held in the UK if justified. UK institutions can partner with institutions affiliated to other UK institutions, such as an overseas campus, to deliver the workshop if they also include other eligible HEIs or research organisations in the partner country. Principal applicants may identify up to four leading or established researchers to act as mentors, two from each country. The remaining participants must be researchers at an earlier stage in their career. |
