Deadline: 30th September 2019

Funding of up to £5,000 per award is available to help scientists add an international dimension by making and establishing contacts with international counterparts in the area of ecology and evolution of infectious diseases.

To help UK researchers develop transdisciplinary partnerships in ecology and evolution of infectious diseases research areas.

This scheme is open to proposals involving collaboration with the USA, China and/or Israel only.

Funding is available to support collaborative activities:

  • To establish first contact type activities that require short-term travel support; and
  • To allow researchers to travel outside the UK to initiate transdisciplinary collaboration and prepare transdisciplinary proposals with an intention to submit for the next Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases programme.

Funding is limited to travel and subsistence costs only.

UKRI reserve the right to curtail this scheme, should higher numbers of applications than anticipated be received.
