Description
1) Objective
Synthesis is a growing scientific research method where scientists garner new knowledge and insights from existing data, using a hypothesis and question-led approach. Synthesis outputs should help inform decision-making by various relevant stakeholders, such as policymakers, regulators and funding agencies.
This grant aims to bring together diverse interdisciplinary groups of 8-15 individuals to focus on data analysis and synthesis while fostering collaboration and mentoring opportunities. Networks are encouraged across universities, research institutes, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), industry and government departments, and groups should include a mix of career stages and backgrounds. They ask that working groups are not formed entirely of members from academic institutions.
Every effort should be made to ensure long-lasting connections and networks are established far beyond the project’s funded length. Examples of this include producing open synthesis datasets and synthesis publications.
2) Eligibility
The main applicant must be a BES member, but this is not required for all group members. Groups should be diverse, including international participation and at least 30% of participants from the Global South, balanced by gender and ethnicity. Applicants are responsible for obtaining necessary permits and permissions, and only one grant per applicant per year is allowed, with a maximum of three grants in any five-year period.
3) Location
Actions can take place in various countries worldwide.
4) Budget
Synthesis groups can claim up to £30,000 over two years for groups of 8-15 participants. The size of the award allows for travel and subsistence to attend physical meetings, as well as facility and venue hire and computing costs to support working group activity within the hosting institutions, which do not have dedicated facilities and may require additional costs to enable hosting a working group onsite.
5) Application
Applicants need to use the online grants system. There will be two funding rounds in 2024, opening on January 11th and July 11th. Applications are submitted through the BES online grants system, with a limit of one application per round across all grant schemes. Projects should start within six months of the award date and run for a maximum of two years.
