Collaborations
We fund a range of collaborative projects, including major international partnerships between countries with developed market economies, such as the International HapMap Project and the Structural Genomics Consortium. We support collaborations between researchers in developing or restructuring countries and researchers in the UK or Republic of Ireland.
For the grants available, see the listing below. Grants are open to applicants who meet our general eligibility requirements. For detailed eligibility criteria please refer to the individual schemes.
Researchers in developing countries can apply for project grants and programme grants in collaboration with researchers in the UK/Republic of Ireland.
Researchers who have a track record of Wellcome Trust funding as a principal investigator, co-investigator or fellow may apply directly for programme and project grants without needing a UK-based collaborator.
We also fund collaborations between researchers in countries with developed market economies and those in the UK or Republic of Ireland.
Equipment grants are for multi-user items of equipment, including equipment required to create a central resource for a number of scientific programmes. We expect equipment applications to include a contribution from another source, proportional to the total request.
Researchers who have a track record of Wellcome Trust funding as a principal investigator, co-investigator or fellow may apply for equipment grants.
