The Royal Academy of Engineering, the Royal Society, the Academy of Medical Sciences and the British Academy, through the Global Challenges Research Fund, invite applications for their frontiers follow-on grants. These support collaborative research that tackles international development challenges and enables previously seeded projects to be developed into fully functioning collaborative research projects. The aim is to build on, and scale up successes from the UK national academies’ early- and mid-career research programmes funded by the GCRF. Grants are worth up to £100,000 per year for one to three years.
