description
The scheme helps scientists add an international dimension to their BBSRC funded research by making and establishing new contacts with international counterparts.
Funding is available for the following:
- Short Term Travel Award — normally intended as a first contact-type meeting, allows researchers to travel outside the UK to initiate collaboration or prepare proposals with partners for international programmes (e.g., EU Framework Programme, Human Frontier Science Program).
- Long Term Travel Award — for researchers to travel outside the UK for periods of up to 12 months.
- Access Award — for stays of up to one month in another country to undertake a specific piece of work, access facilities not available in the UK, or gain access to new techniques or materials that would be of benefit to the BBSRC project or the UK research team.
BBSRC-supported researchers are eligible to apply, including research grantholders and staff employed at BBSRC-sponsored institutes.
The application must be made by the PI, but it does not have to be the PI undertaking the travel (students are not eligible for travel).
Funding is limited to travel and subsistence costs only, and does not usually exceed approximately £5,000.
The scheme is open to bids at any time (at least six weeks before travel).
