ESRC/UKRI: Research Grants (Open Call)
Summary
The ESRC Research Grants (open call) invites proposals from eligible individuals and research teams for standard research projects, large-scale surveys and other infrastructure projects and for methodological developments. The call offers researchers considerable flexibility to focus on any subject area or topic providing that it falls within ESRC’s remit. Proposals can draw from the wider sciences, but the social sciences must represent more than 50 per cent of the research focus and effort. We particularly encourage ambitious and novel research proposals addressing new concepts and techniques and those with the potential for significant scientific or societal and economic impact. We are also keen to encourage fresh ideas from new researchers and appropriate proposals are welcomed from those with limited research experience. Our funding decisions are based on a number of criteria including quality, timeliness, potential impact and value for money. The call is for applications ranging from £350,000 to £1 million (100 per cent full economic cost (fEC)) for a period of up to five years. You can submit proposals to the call at any time – there are no fixed closing dates.
ESRC: Secondary Data Analysis Initiative (SDAI) - open call
The Secondary Data Analysis Initiative aims to deliver high-quality high-impact research through utilising existing data resources created by the ESRC and other agencies in order to address some of the most pressing challenges facing society. Proposals are welcome at any time. Funding is provided for up to 24 months with an overall limit of £300,000 (100% fEC) per grant.

UKRI: Future Leaders Fellowships
Future Leaders Fellowships is a £900 million fund that is helping to establish the careers of world-class research and innovation leaders across UK business and academia.
Future Leaders Fellowships support applicants from diverse career paths, including those returning from a career break or following time in other roles. We also encourage applications from those wishing to work part-time. Our assessors will take into account time spent outside an active research or innovation environment, whether through career breaks, flexible working or time spent working in other roles.
The objectives of the Future Leaders Fellowships are:
to develop, retain, attract and sustain research and innovation talent in the UK.
to foster new research and innovation career paths including those at the academic/business and interdisciplinary boundaries, and facilitate movement of people between sectors.
to provide sustained funding and resources for the best early career researchers and innovators.
to provide long-term, flexible funding to tackle difficult and novel challenges, and support adventurous, ambitious programmes.
ESRC/UKRI: Research and innovation ideas to address COVID-19
ESRC intends to fund new research projects as part of the UK Research and Innovation response to the current COVID-19 pandemic. Proposals are invited for short to medium-term economic and social research activity aimed at addressing and mitigating the impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak.
The impact of COVID-19 is vast and varied, complex and evolving. From major disruptions to the global economy through to the dislocation of normal personal relationships, no country, business, community, family or individual has escaped its impacts. In addition to the direct health impacts of the virus, the economic, social, demographic, environmental, psychological, behavioural, political and institutional responses to, and consequences of, the pandemic have been, and will continue to be, profound. The social sciences, individually or working with other disciplines, have a key role to play in understanding, addressing and mitigating the unfolding impacts of the pandemic.
Project length: Up to 18 months
Open- no deadline
UKRI/AHRC: Research and innovation ideas to address Covid-19
The AHRC welcomes applications to the UKRI open call for research and innovation ideas to address the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts.
Of the priority areas and research questions outlined, the following may be of particular interest:
Policy and behavioural change: What behavioural responses are most effective – singly and in combination – at reducing infection? Which behavioural responses are most effective in different risk environments at work, at home, during transport, etc (work in this area should include consideration of the viral load)?
Ethical, Regulatory and Human Rights issues in responses to COVID-19 : Ethics of prioritization of COVID-related healthcare decisions and interventions. Data and AI ethics in relation to COVID-19 public health measures e.g. tracing apps. Ethical dimensions of (un)equal impacts of COVID-related decision-making. Ethical dimensions of pandemic response and policing activities. Tensions between collective actions/obligations and individual and human rights
Communication and Public Health during the pandemic: Design and the effective communication of official health guidance. Identifying and creating trusted public health information sources. Communicating a diversity of COVID-19 experiences
Open - No Deadline
