ESRC will shortly be inviting applications of between £1 million and £2.5 million (at 100% fEC) to take forward an exciting research agenda in the area of Trust and Global Governance. They expect to fund between two to three large grants under this theme.
Four priority areas for research proposals have been identified under this call. While proposals may exclusively focus on one area, they strongly encourage proposals to explore a range of questions within and between each of these cross-cutting priority areas:
- Trust in a world of inequalities
 - Trust and the future of democracy
 - Identity, community, and the social and psychological foundations of trust
 - Trust, ethics and international security
 
The call will launch for full proposals in April 2018. The closing date for full applications will be late June 2018, with awards expected to start from Spring 2019. There will be no demand management measures in place for this call.
If you are interested in applying then please contact your RKEO Funding Development Officer in the first instance.
