This initiative receives support from the International Science Partnerships Fund established by the UK Government. Valued at £119 million, this fund is designed to cultivate potential and promote prosperity. It positions research and innovation as integral to the UK's international connections, facilitating collaboration between UK researchers and innovators and their global counterparts on pressing contemporary themes. Oversight of this fund falls under the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology and is executed by a consortium comprised of the UK's foremost research and innovation institutions. The primary goal of the Global Innovation Fellowships program is to furnish early- and mid-career researchers in the humanities and social sciences based in the UK with opportunities for advancement. This includes skills enhancement, network expansion, and career progression within sectors like creative and cultural, public, private, and policy domains. These fellowships are directed towards addressing challenges that demand inventive solutions. Through the Global Innovation Fellowships, the SHAPE community's researchers will receive support to cultivate deeper connections beyond academic circles. This will facilitate knowledge mobilization, translation, and individual skill refinement.
The Academy is offering up to three one-year fellowships hosted in Carnegie’s offices in the USA (Washington DC or California). These are offered as awards for up to £150,000 for 12 monthd in duration (with Full Economic Costing at 80%).
There are not any preconceived ideas about the disciplinary background of the award holder, but the applicant will need to demonstrate a solid understanding of the relevant issues, including the applicable policy landscape and the systemic challenges that it faces.
Language skills where relevant are desirable but not essential.
