relationships between elements of the education system, the context in which they are embedded, and

the dynamics operating within the system impact on efforts to raise learning outcomes for all.

Proposals must focus on low-income countries plus a select group of other priority countries listed in

the call. Proposals focused on middle-income countries not on the list will be allowed, but must be

relevant to specific low-income countries, and include clear plans to engage with stakeholders in those

countries from an early stage in the research process. Non-academic stakeholders will need to be

involved in the design and delivery of research projects.

Proposals will be welcomed from across the social sciences, and particularly multi- or interdisciplinary

collaboration. Principal investigators can be from anywhere in the world and researchers from

developing and developed countries can work together in any configuration of their choosing.

Grants are worth between £200,000 and £700,000 at full economic cost. The total budget is worth £6.5

million. Projects may have a duration of one to four years.

Deadline for proposals: 16.00 UK time on 26 July 2016

to support collaboration and the exchange of ideas across boundaries, primarily between

researchers in the arts and humanities, as well as with colleagues in other disciplines and other

stakeholders in order to explore a particular theme, issue or problem;

to enable groups of researchers and other stakeholders to explore ideas which could lead to

tangible projects and maximise opportunities for advances in creativity, insights, knowledge

and understanding in the area to be explored, with results of value both to the arts and

humanities research community and to wider contexts where they can make a difference;

to encourage and enable researchers within the research community to involve new

researchers and research students, as well as people or organisations from outside the

academic and research community, in the discussion and development of ideas;

to foster international collaboration and the development of strong academic links with

overseas researchers, in order to develop understanding through engagement with different

cultures and parts of the world, and to enhance research standards;

to provide a framework for the AHRC to learn of emerging areas of intellectual urgency and

potential strategic importance, both within the UK and internationally, identifying key

research challenges by building new collaborations as well as strengthening existing ones.

Proposals need to be led by a UK principal investigator. Principal investigators must come from a

discipline in the arts and humanities. Only one co-investigator is permissible. International co-

investigators are eligible under this scheme.

Grants are worth up to £30,000 each over two years. An additional £15,000 full economic cost may be

The Andrew W Mellon Foundation invites letters of inquiry for its grants.

These support a wide range of initiatives to strengthen the humanities, arts, higher education and

cultural heritage. The foundation makes grants in five core programme areas:

higher education and scholarship in the humanities;

arts and cultural heritage;

diversity;

Forskningsstöd

scholarly communications;

international high education and strategic projects.

Prospective grantees should review programme area guidelines before inquiring about a particular

project; if the project fits within the foundation’s grant-making priorities, they will invite a grant

proposal.

Domestic or foreign organisations are eligible to apply. The foundation does not make grants to

individuals.

Letters of inquiry are invited throughout the year.

healthcare. Proposals must demonstrate ambitious and innovative solutions in an area of unmet need in

healthcare that cannot be realised through a project-based funding approach.

They must have demonstrated proof-of-principle or validation that is supported by experimental data,

and may fall under a variety of fields of technology development within healthcare, including

therapeutics, vaccines, diagnostics, medical devices and regenerative medicine.

Applicants may be non-profit institutions, governmental or non-governmental organisations, for-profit

organisations or companies and may be based anywhere in the world. Cross-border collaborations are

accepted.

Requested budgets may include modest equipment purchase and maintenance costs, however

institutional overheads, working capital or building or refurbishment expenditure are not covered.

Riksbankens Jubileumsfond inbjuder ansökningar om forskningsinitiering.

Stöd kan ges för konferenser, seminarier, workshops samt för att skapa nya forskarnätverk. Anslagen

är främst avsedda för att initiera verksamhet som ska leda fram till ny forskning inom

samhällsvetenskap och humaniora.

Särskild prioritet ges till ansökningar med internationell anknytning.

Beviljade anslag täcker i normalfallet alla direkta kostnader förknippade med vetenskapliga möten,

varför samfinansiering med andra finansiärer i normalfallet inte är nödvändig och bör undvikas.

Undantaget är stora och mycket kostsamma internationella konferenser där flera finansiärer vanligen

delar på kostnaderna.

Anslag till forskningsinitiering kan sökas när som helst under året. Dock måste de aktiviteter som

medel söks för, planeras med god framförhållning.

Riksbankens Jubileumsfond inbjuder ansökningar om produktionsstöd.

Tryckningsbidrag beviljas endast manuskript som emanerar ur Riksbankens Jubileumsfonds stödform

projekt. Populärvetenskapliga publikationer bör i första hand diskuteras med kommersiella företag.

Bidrag ges för tryckkostnader samt, om särskilda skäl finns, till kostnader för layout och upprättande

av register.
