Collaborative Awards promote the development of new ideas and speed the pace of discovery. We fund teams of researchers, consisting of independent research groups, to work together on the most important scientific problems that can only be solved through collaborative efforts.
ELIGIBILITY
Each applicant must be essential to the proposed collaborative research and have:
Proven research expertise and experience in their field.

A salary for the duration of the award period. If this is not in place, your employing organisation must provide a guarantee of salary support for the duration of the award.
Members of the team must have proven experience in collaborative research and consist of independent research groups.
Team size will depend on the proposed research, but should generally have more than two applicants, and no more than seven.
Teams may be based in the same or in different organisations, and must bring different expertise or disciplines to the research question.
Applicants should usually be based at eligible organisations in the UK, Republic of Ireland, or low- or middle-income countries. However, we can make exceptions for projects that need specific expertise or resources provided by team members based in other countries.

A Collaborative Award can be up to £4 million and last for up to five years, but requests must be appropriate to the proposed research.
