The Natural Environment Research Council and the State of São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) invites applications for its Work with Brazilian researchers – NERC/FAPESP lead agency call. This enables UK-based researchers and researchers in the State of São Paulo, Brazil to submit a collaborative proposal under existing NERC funding opportunities. The aim is to reduce some of the barriers that researchers and funding agencies encounter when trying to work internationally. Applications must be submitted under existing programmes, specifically NERC pushing the frontiers and large grants funding opportunities. NERC will fund up to 80 per cent of the full economic cost for directly incurred costs such as staff payroll, travel and subsistence, and consumables, directly allocated costs such as investigators’ salaries, estates costs and shared resources and indirect costs such as research organisation administration.

UK-based applications must be resident in the UK and employed at lecturer or equivalent level or above by an eligible research organisation such as an HEI, research council institute, recognised independent research organisation or public sector research establishment. The Brazilian researcher must be employed at an eligible institution based in the State of São Paulo such as higher education and research organisations, public or non-profits.
