AHRC/São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) Responsive Mode Collaborative Grants

Funding for collaborative arts and humanities research projects between investigators based in the UK and their counterparts in Brazil.

The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) is the UK’s national funding agency for research across both arts and humanities. The São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) is a public body with the mission to support research projects in higher education and research institutions, in all fields of knowledge.

AHRC/FAPESP are looking for researchers with proposals for well-defined collaborative research projects. However, applicants may include elements of individual research if they can show how this will add value.

Collaborations can involve:

• A single institution or a combination of institutions
• Researchers working in different research areas
• Disciplines within the arts and humanities, or between an arts and humanities discipline and another subject area. In such collaborations the arts and humanities element of the project should lead in shaping the research questions and methods
• Researchers working in other sectors
• Researchers based abroad.
