Deadline for Submitting Proposals: April 13, 2012
The British Council has announced the first trilateral strand of the successful UK-India Education and Research Initiative (UKIERI) with the launch of the new Trilateral Research in Partnership (TRIP) Awards with the United States. Ten awards of up to £50,000 (USD $75,000) in funds will be available to support multidisciplinary research projects between UK, U.S., and Indian higher education institutions.
This new UKIERI strand aims to support the increase of mobility of Ph.D. and postdoctoral students in all three countries, and develop sustainable institutional links between the institutions.
Funds are available to support projects of up to two years. Proposals are welcome across subject areas, including the humanities, social sciences, science and technology, and multidisciplinary research projects.
All proposals will need to include details of additional contributions from the three institutions involved.
Proposals must be supported by UK, U.S., and Indian institutions and endorsed by the respective heads of department or equivalent.
The deadline for online submissions of proposals is April 13, 2012, with the aim to notify successful applications by the end of June 2012. For more information, please contact Alexandra Dimsdale, Head of Press and Communications, at alexandra.dimsdale@britishcouncil.org.
