Social sciences, Arts and Humanities

This call for proposals seeks to explore the role of social science, arts and humanities research in pandemic preparedness and post-pandemic recovery, including how we can build sustainable societal systems, communities and cultures that can respond to future outbreaks.

This initiative will provide funding for high-quality collaborative research projects between UK and Japanese researchers which contribute to advancing impacts for the benefit of both countries. UKRI and JSPS are keen to support collaboration between researchers and teams in areas of mutual strength and shared interest.

Whilst this call is open across the entire breadth of the social sciences, arts and humanities, we are particularly interested in proposals that:

• Acknowledge the current global context in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic and aim to address the challenges and opportunities presented by the pandemic. For example, this might include proposals that aim to contribute towards improving policy, communication and service design post COVID, speeding up recovery and reducing costs and long-term scarring, or influencing the direction of recovery towards a more equitable, inclusive, sustainable and resilient societies, communities and cultures.

Proposals should also:

• Consider how to make the best use of available expertise in the UK and Japan, together with the added value of new existing collaborations.
• Demonstrate evidence of the strength and complementarity of their collaboration and how the partnership will be managed.

Wednesday, 5 p.m., 14 July, 2021 (JST)

*Please note that the applicant’s affiliated institution may set an earlier deadline.

*Under no circumstances will JSPS accept applications submitted after the deadline.

*Once an application is submitted, you may not be able to revise and resubmit it.

The PIs on both the Japanese and UK sides must submit a single joint application to JSPS. UK applicants do not have to submit to UKRI. For details, please refer to
