Apply for funding to help form a new interdisciplinary partnership. You must plan to apply to the upcoming main funding opportunity, ‘Hidden histories of environmental science: Acknowledging legacies of race, social injustice and exclusion to inform the future’.

The principal investigator must be eligible for UKRI funding.

Your proposed collaboration must include researchers from both AHRC disciplines and NERC’s remit.

The partnership team may also include:

other academic researchers from any discipline
researchers outside academia
members of the public or public-facing groups.
You do not need to apply for this funding to apply for the main ‘Hidden histories’ funding opportunity.

Open allsections
Who can apply
The collaborative partnership team must include:

at least one arts and humanities or economic and social researcher currently or previously working in AHRC disciplines
at least one researcher currently or previously working in NERC’s remit
these two people must be must either be past or present UKRI (including AHRC and NERC) grant holders, or a potential future grant holder in that they must meet UKRI eligibility rules.
The collaborative partnership team may include others across academic disciplines beyond AHRC or NERC’s remit, outside academia, members of the public or public-facing groups. This could include:

other researchers across academic disciplines, or fields outside academia
practitioners
equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) and access specialists
interdisciplinary specialist
environmental science sector (including stakeholders in business, third sector, government)
engagement and impact specialists, including university public engagement departments
community organisations, publics or public-facing groups (for example, learned societies, environment and diversity groups, charity members, community groups, local authorities, commercial companies providing a public service) or a combination of these.
Costs for the involvement of these groups may be covered.

When submitting proposals the principal investigator (PI) of this call must meet UKRI eligibility rules. Proposals should be submitted by the PI, but should be co-created with input from all of the partners.

Check if you are eligible for UKRI funding.

Applicants to this call may submit only one proposal as the PI.

We are particularly interested in receiving applications to this partnership seed fund opportunity and the main funding opportunity from researchers and practitioners from a diverse range of ethnic backgrounds, including those from Black, Asian and other minority ethnic backgrounds.

What we're looking for
The partnership seed funding aims to support applicants to plan, build and sustain collaborative partnerships required to deliver the objectives of the main ‘Hidden histories’ funding opportunity.

The projects should plan to meet the following objectives:

plan and build a collaborative partnership in order to prepare to potentially bid for the main ‘Hidden histories’ funding opportunity
ensure that principles and best practice of interdisciplinary working are adopted from the outset, allowing for the development of truly collaborative partnerships which will provide solutions to the complex challenges of ‘Hidden histories’
sustain partnerships, where relevant, to develop relationships across communities of researchers, potentially leading to innovative future proposals bringing the disciplines together, and may also enable equitable participation of those outside of academia in developing research.
Applicants planning to involve those outside of academia, such as public and community groups, must build equitable, ethical partnerships, managing risks in-line with best practice, such as that highlighted in the Creating Living Knowledge report.

Scope of main ‘Hidden histories’ funding opportunity
The emerging funding opportunity is planning to consider the following questions (to be confirmed following consultation with an independent advisory group).

To what extent has colonial and other history, exclusion and social injustice influenced how the UK environmental science research sector presents cultures and issues, including around race, racism and representation and intersectionality?

How do key people, places or issues in the British colonial past of environmental science research compare with those shaped by present-day cultural sensitivities and expectations?

How can engagement with relevant people throughout the research improve projects for mutual benefits, which may include identifying opportunities to actively influence, consult and/or collaborate? Key communities and stakeholders of this programme include (but are not limited to):

environmental science sector
higher education institutions
environmental science researchers
UKRI (including AHRC and NERC)
policy
third sector, non-governmental organisations and publ
