Wellcome Collaborative Awards in Humanities and Social Science
https://wellcome.ac.uk/funding/collaborative-awards-humanities-and-social-science
Collaborative Awards promote the development of new ideas and bring disciplines together to speed the pace of discovery. This scheme funds teams who are tackling major health-related questions in the humanities and social sciences that require a collaborative approach.
You can apply for a Collaborative Award if you have a team of two to six principal applicants. Each applicant should have a good track record in their area of research, relative to their career stage.
We’re looking for teams with a track record of working together to tackle research questions that can only be approached collaboratively. Teams can come from the same discipline or from a combination of disciplines. They can be from the same university department or a number of organisations (anywhere in the world).
We encourage applications that combine humanities and social science research with biomedical science research and/or product development and applied research. Please contact us if you’re not sure which area to apply to.
Important factors when we evaluate your application are:
- the environment in which you do your research
- the support your host organisation provides.
Application Type: You must submit your application through the Wellcome Trust Grant Tracker
We’ll assess your eligibility and suitability, and give you a decision within six weeks of the preliminary application deadline. If suitable, we will invite you to submit a full application.
