Preparing for Tomorrow 2026 Grant

The Preparing for Tomorrow grant call, run by the Trans-Atlantic Platform (T-AP), supports international, interdisciplinary research projects in social sciences and humanities to explore future societal challenges and resilience. Projects are expected to be collaborative and international, involving multiple countries and aiming to inform policy and decision-making.

Access to international research funding, opportunities for transnational collaboration, engagement with policymakers and stakeholders, increased visibility of outputs, capacity-building opportunities, and support for interdisciplinary innovation.

Applications must form an international consortium with at least three eligible principal investigators from at least three different participating countries, with representation from both sides of the Atlantic.

Applications are submitted through the German Research Foundation (DFG) Elan Portal by the Lead Principal Investigator on behalf of the consortium; submit the Letter of Intent by 8 July 2026 and the full proposal by 28 October 2026.
