Newton Fund Researcher Links Travel Grants for South Africa

Applications are now open for Newton Fund Researcher Links Travel Grants which will provide financial support for early-career researchers to undertake an international research placement to strengthen links for future collaboration, build research capacity in developing economies, and enhance the researcher's career opportunities.

Researchers that reside in the partner country can apply for funding to visit a university or research institution in the UK.

These grants are funded under the Newton Fund, a UK Government initiative funded by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), together with partner funders from around the world.

The Fund aims to promote the economic development and welfare of either the partner countries or, through working with the partner country, to address the problems of low-income and vulnerable populations.

Objectives of Newton Fund Researcher Links Travel Grants for South Africa All Newton Fund Researcher Links Travel Grants have the following three overarching objectives:

Support international development-relevant research – Travel Grants are intended to support research areas relevant to the economic development and social welfare of partner country.

Contribute to capacity building of early career researchers – The proposal should include a description of the capacity building potential of the project (both for the individual applicant, and other potential beneficiaries), and the longer term impact that the project could achieve.

Establish new research links or develop existing links – Travel Grants are intended to either support new links, or to develop existing links with the potential for longer term sustainability.

Applications to return to the research group where the applicant carried out their PhD research or have previously taught will only be considered if they clearly demonstrate the latter.
