Pre-announcement: ESRC Connect Awards: pilot

The ESRC Connect Awards help researchers work together on new research areas. You can get funding to connect with other researchers and develop emerging research fields. The funding ranges from an unknown minimum up to £1.5 million. You must be based at a UK organisation that can receive ESRC funding. This is a pilot programme, so it is testing new ways of supporting research collaboration. The deadline is not specified, suggesting applications may be accepted on a rolling basis. You can use the money to scope out new research areas and seed new projects. This funding helps grow new areas of inquiry that might not fit traditional research categories.

This grant is for researchers based at UK organisations that are eligible for ESRC funding. You should apply if you want to connect with other researchers to explore new research areas. It is not for individual research projects but for collaborative work to develop emerging fields.
