UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and FAPESP have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to support collaborative applications. It provides for a lead agency agreement whereby participant UKRI research councils receive and assess joint applications from eligible UK and Brazil-based researchers from the state of São Paulo on behalf of both organisations. UKRI and FAPESP will co-fund applications submitted to participant UKRI councils’ responsive mode funding opportunities via selected funding opportunities. General conditions for applications will differ depending on the funding opportunity to which an application is being submitted.

Under the UKRI-FAPESP agreement, joint UK-Brazil applications can be submitted to the UKRI council’s responsive mode funding opportunities, as in the following list. Collaborative research applications led by UK applicants, with São Paulo-based researchers, may be submitted in any single or cross-disciplinary area which fits within the remit of the participating research councils.

You must be an eligible project lead or principal investigator employed by a UK research organisation eligible to receive funding from the participating UKRI research councils which you wish to apply to: - AHRC - BBSRC - EPSRC - ESRC - MRC - NERC - STFC.
