UK-Brazil Research Collaboration: NERC FAPESP Partnership

This funding opportunity enables UK-based researchers to collaborate with researchers in São Paulo, Brazil through a streamlined joint application process. Eligible researchers can submit applications under existing NERC funding schemes, particularly the Pushing the Frontiers initiative, with a single coordinated review process managed by both NERC (UK) and FAPESP (Brazil). This partnership reduces administrative barriers and simplifies international collaboration by eliminating the need for separate applications in each country. The scheme supports research partnerships that benefit from UK-Brazil scientific expertise and aims to strengthen bilateral research ties in environmental sciences and related fields.
