AHRC Working with Brazilian researchers: Applicant-led mode

A collaborative research grant scheme to support projects within the remit of the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) in partnership with the State of São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP). Projects must be led from a UK eligible research organisation in collaboration with researchers based in the State of São Paulo. Awards fund UK and São Paulo based project costs for up to four years and support joint research, publication and researcher development.

Research project grant funding (UK FEC between £300,000 and £1.5 million with AHRC funding 80%); FAPESP funding for São Paulo-based researcher costs; awards up to four years in duration.

The UK-based project lead must be based at an organisation eligible for AHRC funding. Applicants must be actively engaged in postdoctoral research, have a doctorate or equivalent research experience, and be members of or supported by a recognised research organisation. Applications must include a project lead and at least one project co-lead; São Paulo based partners must be based at an eligible institution in the State of São Paulo and provide a FAPESP confirmation letter.

Submit simultaneous applications: UK-based project lead submits via the UKRI Funding Service and São Paulo-based project lead submits via FAPESP’s SAGe system; attach FAPESP confirmation letter to the AHRC application.
