MRC/AHRC GCRF Global Public Health; Partnership Awards pre-call announcement

  • The funding available for each call from MRC and AHRC is £2million in total. The duration of these grants should be between 18-24 months. The funding requested should be commensurate with the activities intended for these projects, but as they are not intended to fund pure research or basic science, the main costs for these are likely to be staff wages and travel costs. Costs of up to £200,000 fEC could be appropriate, although the scale of the awards will be flexible to meet the needs of the research.

  • Dates

  • Open date: 02 Feb 2017
  • Closing date: 31 Jul 2017 16:00 GMT+1
  • Please note this is a pre-announcement. The call will fully launch in mid-February and be open to applications from mid-March. Sign up to receive email alerts for a confirmed date.

  • establishing inter-disciplinary collaborative partnerships or consortia
