The Interdisciplinary Research Grant supports innovative and collaborative research, designed to encourage new interdisciplinary research collaborations across the University by bringing together staff from different departments, disciplines, or faculties. It aims to promote the sharing of expertise, methodologies, and approaches across academic boundaries, fostering a more connected and innovative research environment.
Ultimately, the initiative seeks to strengthen the University’s research culture by seeding future funding applications, scholarly publications, and knowledge exchange activities.
Key evaluation criteria: strength and innovation of the proposed interdisciplinary collaboration, the integration of expertise across different disciplines, the potential to generate tangible research outputs (including publications and knowledge exchange), and the ability to establish sustainable collaborations that lead to future larger-scale external funding applications.
Successful applicants will be required to submit a progress report to the Research Office by the 31st July 2027
