Travel Grants - Researcher Links / Newton Fund - April 2016

Researcher Links Travel Grants provide financial support for early-career researchers to undertake an international research placement to strengthen links for future collaboration, build research capacity in developing economies, and enhance the researcher's career opportunities. Researchers that reside in the UK can apply for funding to visit a university or research institution in one of the partner countries (including Kazakhstan), and those residing in one of the partner countries (including Kazakhstan) can apply for funding to come to the UK.

These grants are funded under the Newton Fund, a UK Government initiative funded by the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills, together with partner funders from around the world. The Fund aims to promote the economic development and welfare of either the partner countries or, through working with the partner country, to address the problems of low-income and vulnerable populations.

Duration of visit: 1-6 months depending on the country
Priority areas: Partner countries may specify priority areas and will only accept applications within these. Priority areas are listed in the Guidelines document (Downloads section).
ODA requirement: All applications must meet the required relevance to economic development or social welfare (see Guidelines for further information) of the partner country.

Partner Countries

Colombia, Egypt, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Turkey. Researchers that reside in the UK can apply for funding to visit a university or research institution in one of the listed countries, and those residing in one of the listed countries can apply for funding to come to the UK.
