Collaborative Awards are for teams of researchers bringing together the relevant expertise and experience to address the most important scientific problems.
Your proposal should describe a significant piece of work that addresses the most important questions, in an area relevant to the mission of the Wellcome Trust.
You should be able to demonstrate why the scientific problem you are tackling can only be solved through an integrated, collaborative team effort.
Each applicant must be essential to the proposed collaborative research and have:
- Proven research expertise and experience in their field.
- An academic or research post (or equivalent).
- A salary for the duration of the award period.
Members of the team must have proven experience in collaborative research and consist of independent research groups.

Eligibility - Applicants should be based at eligible organisations in the UK, Republic of Ireland, or low- or middle-income countries ( this includes Thailand).
