The Academy of Medical Sciences, the British Academy, the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Royal Society, through the Global Challenges Research Fund, invite applications for their networking grants. Grants are worth up to £25,000 each for one year. A share of £5,000 can be used for consumables, pilot data, archival research or fieldwork, and the rest may cover travel and subsistence costs, costs associated with networking activities, administrative support and access to technical support.

These allows researchers from across disciplines and from developing countries and the UK to hold networking events, to forge new links and generate innovative transdisciplinary research ideas to address global challenges.

Applications are invited from researchers affiliated to institutions in countries listed by the Development Assistance Committee of the OECD in collaboration with researchers within eligible UK organisations. Applicants may be from any discipline and must have completed their PhD or have experience at an equivalent level, have proven research experience in their field and hold a permanent position at an eligible institution or a fixed term contract for the duration of the project. Lead applicants must not be affiliated to a private or commercial organisation. Applications that include more than one UK co-applicant or an overseas applicant not from a DAC-listed country will not be considered. The UK applicant should be resident in the UK for the duration of the award.
