The Wellcome Trust has announced Pilot funding for Cross-disciplinary Research Connecting Environment, Nutrition and Health. The goal of this programme is to stimulate the formation of creative partnerships that bring together the diversity of competences required to tackle these complex problems and inform the global response through multidisciplinary research.
Proposals should be designed to open up new research avenues, ultimately leading to work that will have a significant impact on human health. As general guidance, awards are of the order of £250,000, exceptionally up to £500,000.
Eligibility criteria:
- Proposals from a broad range of disciplines and we particularly encourage applications from cross-sector collaborations, involving academic organisations, industry/business, non-governmental organisations and/or government agencies based in the UK and overseas.
- Participating organisations may be located in any country, and the principal investigator may be employed in any sector.
- All applications will require clear arrangements for leadership and management of the project, whether this involves a single institution or a consortium.
