Internal Research England GCRF support fund (round 3)

This fund provides support for ODA research activity across the University.

Deadline

Friday 21 June 2019

Amount

The amount will depend on the type of award but large awards are expected to be around £50k.

Eligibility

Applications are welcome from members of any department or faculty at the University of Oxford.

The PI must be a current employee of the University of Oxford holding an academic post, or PI on a research contract awarded competitively and intended to enable the holder to establish an independent research career, with their current employment outlasting the duration of this project. If you are in any doubt of your eligibility, please email tristan.eagling@admin.ox.ac.uk for clarification. 

Many departments have internal eligibility criteria, approval processes and other guidelines to which all applicants should adhere. Please consult your departmental administrator for internal deadlines and further information.

Colleagues from Oxford colleges and the University of Oxford museums can be involved and should be included as academic partners. College-based academics wishing to apply as PIs must apply via a department/faculty. Awards can only be held in departments/faculties, not in colleges.

The funds can be used for any of the activities listed below (or a combination):

  • capacity and capability building
  • interdisciplinary and collaborative research activity
  • generating impact from research both within and beyond the sector
  • pump-priming activities to underpin GCRF and Newton bids to other funders, including relationship building
  • rapid response to emergencies where there is an urgent research need

Note

Large standalone projects which do not lead to external grant applications or provide additionality to ongoing projects are not eligible. All activity must be ODA eligible.
