Oxford/Princeton Collaborative Research Grants

Seed-corn funds for Oxford/Princeton research partnership projects are available to provide support for interactions between researchers to build the basis for new research projects and proposals for external funding (to help sustain and enlarge collaborative activity). The universities are especially interested to seed new connections, and new collaborations, rather than fund already established research partnerships. Project proposals led by or involving early career researchers are especially welcome. Grants will be awarded according to a two-tier structure. Tier 1: US $5k (3k match) per year for two years (for a total of US $20K over two years between the two institutions). Tier 2: up to US $40k (25.5k match) over a three to four year period. Applicants for Tier 2 grants must explain the need for additional funds based on the scope of the project. Please contact the Research Faciltator before 14 May if you are interested in applying.
Deadline: 14 May
