AHRC responsive mode: working with Brazilian researchers

About This Opportunity

This funding opportunity supports collaborative research grants between UK-based researchers and Brazilian researchers based in the State of São Paulo. The program is governed by an agreement between UKRI and the State of São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP), allowing eligible arts and humanities researchers to establish or enhance effective working relationships with fellow researchers both within and beyond the UK. Projects should be well-defined collaborative research initiatives that may involve single or multiple institutions, researchers from different disciplines, and can include elements of individual research if they add value. The collaborative work must fall within the remit of AHRC and FAPESP, with UK elements funded by AHRC at 80% FEC (between £300,000 and £1.5 million) and Brazilian elements funded by FAPESP. Applications are assessed through a lead agency agreement where UKRI receives and assesses joint applications on behalf of both organizations. The maximum project duration is five years, and this is a rolling opportunity with no specific deadline, allowing researchers to submit applications when ready.
