The APEX Awards are a funding opportunity designed to promote collaboration across academic disciplines through the support of world-leading interdisciplinary research projects.
Aims
With the generous support of the Leverhulme Trust, the British Academy – in partnership with the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Royal Society – is inviting applications from established (independent) researchers employed at a UK university, or not-for-profit research institution, with a strong track record in their respective area, for an exciting opportunity to pursue genuine interdisciplinary and curiosity-driven research to benefit wider society. Successful applicants will be expected to work in collaboration with relevant researchers from other disciplines.
Eligibility requirements
Applications must be within the remit of more than one of the three Academies, and awards of up to £100,000 to fund staff costs can be held for up to 24 months with no more than 25 per cent of the total requested used for associated research costs. Successful applicants will also have the opportunity to apply separately for up to £10,000 to create and lead public engagement projects linked to their APEX award.
Application and assessment procedure
Closing date: 1 November 2023, 15:00 (GMT)
All projects must commence between 1 October 2024 and 1 December 2024.
