AHRC responsive mode: UKRI NSF-SBE lead agency

This funding opportunity supports collaborative research between UK-based researchers and US-based researchers through a lead agency agreement between UKRI and the US National Science Foundation, Social, Behavioural and Economic Sciences Directorate (NSF-SBE). Applications must fall within the remit of both the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and NSF-SBE. The program enables arts and humanities researchers to establish or enhance effective working relationships with fellow researchers both within and beyond the UK, as well as with practitioners and organisations who may benefit from their research. Projects should be well-defined collaborative research initiatives that may involve single or multiple institutions, researchers from different disciplines, and international partners. The full economic cost of the UK-hosted element must be between £300,000 and £1.5 million, with AHRC funding 80% of FEC. Awards can last up to five years and are designed to maximize the value of research outcomes through effective communication and dissemination.
