Research Grant Opportunities 2018

Alhamdulillah, grant opportunities! Despite the budget cut down for most local universities this year, there are still opportunities out there for research grants. I am posting these grant links that I received in my email for reference (before they are drowned by other emails that end up leaving me forget the deadlines). I haven't checked the details of all yet, so I am not sure whether all of these are related to studies in the built environment or not. So let's check them out:


1. EUROPE MSCA INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIP

The goal of the Individual Fellowships is to enhance the creative and innovative potential of experienced researchers, wishing to diversify their individual competence in terms of skill acquisition through advanced training, international and intersectoral mobility. Individual Fellowships provide opportunities to researchers of any nationality to acquire and transfer new knowledge and to work on research and innovation in Europe (EU Member States and Horizon 2020 Associated Countries) and beyond. The scheme particularly supports the return and (re)integration of European researchers from outside Europe and those who have previously worked here, as well as researchers displaced by conflict outside the EU and Horizon 2020 Associated Countries. It also promotes the career restart of individual researchers who show great potential.

2. EU RESEARCH FUNDING FOR ASEAN RESEARCHERS

Horizon 2020 is the biggest EU Research and Innovation programme ever with nearly €80 billion of funding available over 7 years (2014 to 2020) – in addition to the private investment that this money will attract. It promises more breakthroughs, discoveries and world-firsts by taking great ideas from the lab to the market. To find out more, please visit the Participant Portal.

3. BRITISH COUNCIL: FAMELAB

If you think you can explain a scientific concept to a general audience, in just three minutes, then why not enter? You could become the new face of science, represent your country at the FameLab International final in the UK, and open doors to global opportunities in science communication!

4. ERCIM: POST-DOC FELLOWSHIPS FOR ASEAN RESEARCHERS

ERCIM, the European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics, offers fellowships for PhD holders from all over the world. Topics cover most disciplines in Computer Science, Information Technology, and Applied Mathematics. Fellows are hosted in Fellows are hosted in leading research institututes across Europe.

5. UK ROYAL SOCIETY MOBILITY GRANTS: FOR MALAYSIAN & THAI RESEARCHERS

The Royal Society offers Newton International Exchanges as mobility grants to provide international researchers with funding towards travel, subsistence and research expenses for either a one-off short visit to explore opportunities for building lasting networks or for bilateral visits to strengthen emerging collaborations. The skills and knowledge gained should lead to changes in the wellbeing of communities and increased economic benefits. This award is currently available to international researchers that want to strengthen the research and innovation capacity by visiting or sending staff and students to the UK.


6. DOCTORAL STUDENTSHIP
This scheme enables researchers to undertake humanities or social science doctoral degrees in any area of health.


7. APEC PROJECT FUNDING

There are four main sources of funding for APEC projects: the General Project Account (GPA), the Trade and Investment Liberalisation and Facilitation Account (TILF), the APEC Support Fund (comprising a General Fund and a number of Sub-Funds) and self-funding.

If there are any other relevant grant that you know, do share with me. Thank you.
