APPLICATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED FOR TRINITY TERM
The India-Oxford initiative (IndOx) is a cross-divisional platform at Oxford, promoting research and academic collaboration and exchanges between the Indian subcontinent and Oxford University. Supported by the Oxford Martin School, IndOx is offering funding to support costs for research travel to or from the Indian subcontinent, for visiting academics with an India or subcontinent academic/research focus, or for collaborations with cultural partners in Oxford or in the subcontinent, as may be required. For this call, applicants should be students or academics/researchers employed by the University, who can apply for their self or for a team member at Oxford or to bring a visiting academic to Oxford. Applicants can be from any discipline.
The total sum available for disbursement is limited and as such IndOx will be awarding small grants (£500-£1,500 with full justification of all costs), where possible to supplement funding from other sources. Funds provided can be used to support visa costs, travel, accommodation, consumables and living expenses. Applicants who have secured supplementary funding will be considered favourably.
As a guidance, a successful application will be collaborative in nature, and will focus on the impact and benefits to the Indian subcontinent. Applicants will be responsible for administering the funds, abiding by all applicable rules and regulations and University policies in place, making necessary arrangements with the respective Department/s and meeting the reporting requirements.
Eligibility: This is an internal call for Oxford University students, academic staff and researchers, who can apply for their self or for others. Please note that grants are available for prospective applications only, with a limit of £1.5k per applicant.
