Proposals are invited for the first round of International Partnership and Mobility awards.
In this round the Scheme is open to three-year and one-year partnerships between UK scholars and scholars in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, Middle East, South Asia, and East Asia.
Awards cover any branch of the humanities or social sciences and are intended to focus on collaborative research on a specific theme of mutual interest, rather than purely on establishing networks.
The Scheme intends to strengthen research capacity/capability, with all partners gaining from the collaboration, and to initiate the development of long-term, vigorous links between the UK and overseas scholars whilst also encouraging an intra-regional exchange of expertise and knowledge sharing.
UK-Taiwan One-Year Partnerships: Under the umbrella of the International Partnership and Mobility Scheme, one-year partnerships between UK scholars and scholars in Taiwan will be co-funded by the British Academy and the National Science Council of Taiwan.
One-year awards may be viewed as pump priming grants suited to initiate new collaborative partnerships. Three-year awards will develop research further, and involve a more extensive programme of collaboration and exchange.
Partnerships might include a range of related activities, and mobility (in the form of visits in both directions, exchanges, etc.) should form an integral part of proposals. Workshops and seminars should form an integral part of the programme. The main purpose of the funding is to cover travel and maintenance costs, although costs related to other eligible activities will be considered. Partnerships including a training element and involving scholars in the early stages in their career will be looked on favourably.
Both a principal applicant and co-applicant are required for this scheme. The principal applicant must be ‘ordinarily resident’ in the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands and must be able to demonstrate that they will be based at their present employing research-active institution in the UK for the duration of the award. The co-applicant must be an academic based in a research-active institution in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, Middle East, South Asia, or East Asia and must also be able to demonstrate that they will be based at their present employing institution for the duration of the award.
Applications must be submitted via e-GAP2, the Academy's electronic grant application system. Applicants are asked to read the Scheme Notes (PDF file - 362 KB) before beginning an application.
