EOI: 20th April, full proposal for invitees 25th May The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, under the Global Challenges Research Fund, invites proposals for its diagnostics, prosthetics and orthotics to tackle health challenges in developing countries call. This supports internationally leading programmes of research, centred around innovative healthcare technologies, to tackle the challenges faced by developing countries. Proposals must address one of the following two priority areas: •low cost, rapid, point of care imaging and diagnostic technologies; •affordable prosthetics and orthotics. The proposed research must be predominantly in EPSRC remit, although interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary proposals are welcomed. Proposals must also be compliant with the Official Development Assistance guidelines. Appropriate collaborators in one or more LMICs are a mandatory requirement for proposals. Overseas co-investigators must be researchers based in research organisations in countries on the Development Assistance Committee list of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, including upper-middle income countries. Costs associated with research conducted in LMICs, such as consumables and field work, will also be supported. The total budget is worth £7.5 million, and six to eight projects will be funded. |

EOI 20/April/2017 full stage 13/July 2017 The Wellcome Trust invites applications for its collaborative awards in science. These promote the development of new ideas and speed the pace of discovery. The trust funds teams of researchers, consisting of independent research groups, to work together on the most important scientific problems that can only be solved through collaborative efforts. Teams should normally consist of more than two but no more than seven applicants and be based at eligible organisations in the UK, Republic of Ireland or low- or middle-income countries. Exceptions can be made for projects that require specific expertise or resources provided by team members based in other countries. Each applicant must have proven research expertise and experience in their field, an academic or research post or equivalent, and a salary for the duration of the award period. Awards are normally worth up to £4 million over a period of up to five years which may be used to cover research expenses. |
