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.

This will facilitate knowledge mobilization, translation, and individual skill refinement.
