The International Science Partnerships Fund (ISPF) is designed to enable potential and foster prosperity. It puts research and innovation at the heart of our international relationships, supporting UK researchers and innovators to work with peers around the world on the four major themes of our time: planet, health, technologies, and talent.
Grants under this programme allow early career researchers to collaborate internationally, and gain access to new research environments, facilities, knowledge, and expertise, to enhance the quality of their research environments and enable them to translate research and innovation into economic and societal benefit.
- Be a permanent resident of Brazil.
- Be an Early Career Researcher.*
- Be from the Legal Amazon/ Amazônia Legal universities & research centres.
- Not currently in receipt of financial support or funding towards any other programme in the UK from any other sources.
- Not be from a for-profit organisation.
- Have a background or a proven interest in the proposed research area.
- Be willing to demonstrate future contribution to capacity-building and socio-economic advancement through the benefits achieved after completing the fellowship programme.
- We encourage Early Career Fellowships from a variety of backgrounds, including those whose backgrounds are underrepresented in their research field, to participate.
- Be eligible under UK Government Visa requirements.
- Be eligible under our English Language requirements
Early Career Researchers (ECRs) have completed or are close to completion of their PhD, potentially waiting for their final viva voce examination, which must be passed prior to taking up the award. ECRs will not have held a permanent academic post or a permanent post with a research-related element, or one which allowed them to supervise PhD students or submit research grants as a principal investigator. Time spent in teaching-only roles or academic related roles does not affect ECR status, provided no research element was part of the role.
If a researcher does not hold a PhD but has research experience equivalent to a PhD holder and works in a field where a PhD is not a prerequisite for established research activity, they can still be considered eligible. Participants from for-profit organisations cannot be funded. As we move toward greater inclusivity for ECRs from a wide range of backgrounds, we are no longer counting years spent in a specific career stage. Career breaks and alternative trajectories to an early academic career are all considered outside the definition of career stage.
