UK-US Joint Research Funding in Social Sciences (ESRC-NSF Responsive Mode Round Two)

This collaborative funding opportunity supports joint research proposals from UK and US-based researchers in social sciences. The programme is jointly administered by the UK Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the US National Science Foundation Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (NSF-SBE) division. UK-based researchers can secure funding up to £1 million at 80% of full economic cost. The application process operates on a rolling basis with no fixed closing date, enabling researchers to submit proposals at their convenience for assessment through a single coordinated review panel. This is the second round of this transatlantic funding initiative. Eligible applicants should have institutional affiliation in the UK or US and propose research aligned with ESRC and NSF-SBE research priorities.
