Proposals are invited for short-term projects
addressing and mitigating the health, social, economic, cultural and
environmental impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak in Low and Middle Income
Countries.
This call is funded through the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) and the Newton Fund. These Funds address global challenges through disciplinary and interdisciplinary research and strengthen capability for research and innovation within both the UK and developing countries, providing an agile response to emergencies where there is an urgent research need. These Funds form part of the UK's Official Development Assistance (ODA) commitment.
Researchers holding existing UKRI GCRF grants should in the first instance consider whether they could repurpose that funding to address the objectives of this call. You can apply to switch your existing funding here. Repurposing your existing grant is the quickest way to start the research.
UKRI will support excellent proposals which meet at least one of the following:
