Eligible proposals may focus on either COVID-19 specifically, or on other major infectious disease outbreaks. The USF will provide up to £25,000 seed-funding per project, for innovative interdisciplinary and partnered research that helps gain deeper understanding of the social, political, economic, cultural and/or environmental dimensions of pandemics on urban lives and places. Each proposal must clearly demonstrate a meaningful research partnership between a minimum of two organisations, and should be aimed towards developing into larger research initiatives in future. Applications due by: 1st November 2021 More can be read about the funding here<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furbanstudiesfoundation.org%2Ffunding%2Fpandemics-and-cities&data=04%7C01%7C%7C60108d40ee6744a5eb8d08d955ba79fc%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C0%7C637635081662454203%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=7VlnsiXQnYI0tq18Ox5jO4kmR7dMhp6%2BYikY%2FC4499Y%3D&reserved=0>. Terms include: * Up to three individual co-applicants may apply to the funding. Applicants must be at or above the level of post-doctoral researcher, unless they are a PhD candidate applying along with their academic supervisor. At least one applicant must have a permanent post at a recognised higher education or research institution. * Projects must comprise significant collaboration between at least two partner organisations. Partner organisations must provide (at minimum) clearly documented support for the project that represents a meaningful collaboration in terms of (a) partnership funding towards the project budget and/or (b) other essential in-kind material resources. * The proposed research may intersect with pandemics across a variety of fields and topics, but should still have extremely clear connections to the discipline of urban studies. Applications must include (at minimum): * Full proposal detailing the topic and purpose of the research project, including the form of the partnership, projected timeline, research outputs, and future plans. * Details of up to three co-applicants, with CVs, referee contact details, and the names of any other team members. * Research partner support letters, detailing support and collaboration in the project. * Budget statement and supporting evidence.
