UK: UKRI funding opportunity: Citizen science collaboration grant

Andy · Aug 15, 2020

This call will support multidisciplinary research collaborations that spread citizen science methods into new fields of research and involve citizens to address societally-relevant challenges.

This is a single round funding scheme for projects lasting one to three years. Lead applicants can be from any discipline and must be of lecturer level or equivalent.

We are particularly interested in collaborations that enable researchers with no prior experience of using citizen science methods to develop their expertise, and projects that extend citizen science methods into new research disciplines.

Projects must start by 31 March 2021 and must be completed by 31 March 2024.

Who can apply?
Applications are encouraged from ALL research disciplines, spanning arts, humanities, social sciences and the natural sciences.

Projects should be a collaboration between researchers from multiple disciplines, a specific group of citizens and, where appropriate, relevant partners from outside academia. This can include partnerships with organisations from private, public and non-profit sectors, as well as community representatives and groups.

Principal investigators and Co-Investigators must be of at least lecturer level (or equivalent) and meet the standard BBSRC-UKRI eligibility criteria, as set out in in the BBSRC Grants Guide. At least one Principal or Co-Investigator should have significant experience of using citizen science methods, but collaborations with those new to citizen science is strongly encouraged.

Applicants must be employed by a Higher Education Institute (HEIs), Research Council Institute (RCIs) or approved Independent Research Organisation (IROs). Current IROs and details of the approval process.
