UKRI-SBE lead agency opportunity

The UKRI-SBE lead agency opportunity allows UK and US-based researchers to submit a collaborative proposal that will go through a single review process. The goal is to reduce barriers to international collaboration. Applications are integrated into existing programmes at the relevant lead agency, with participating agencies including UKRI councils AHRC, BBSRC, and ESRC, and the NSF/SBE. The opportunity is currently paused and will not consider expressions of interest or applications until further notice.
