About this opportunity

This funding opportunity supports collaborative research between UK-based researchers and US-based researchers through a lead agency agreement between the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and the US National Science Foundation, Social, Behavioural and Economic Sciences Directorate (NSF-SBE). The program enables arts and humanities researchers to establish or enhance effective working relationships with fellow researchers across disciplines and sectors. Projects should aim to maximize the value of research outcomes by promoting their communication and dissemination with individuals and organizations outside academia. The collaborative work is governed by an agreement between UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and NSF-SBE, allowing joint applications to be submitted to a single lead agency for streamlined assessment. Projects can include elements of individual research if they add value to the collaborative effort and may involve researchers working across different research areas, disciplines, and sectors.
