You can apply for up to £35,000 over two years to pump-prime collaborations between scientists in the UK and São Paolo state in Brazil. The awards support the development of future applications within our remit under the UK Research and Innovation-São Paulo Research Foundation lead agency agreement.

To note: You can apply for support if you are:

· a holder of a BBSRC research grant

· a researcher employed at BBSRC institutes

Priority will be given to applications focussing on:

· food security

· bioenergy and industrial biotechnology.

The application must be made by a principal investigator. One person may act as a lead for a consortia of academics. Students are not eligible.

The principal investigator in Brazil must hold a FAPESP research award. You should apply at least 12 weeks before the start of your project.
