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, but priority will be given to applications from the Medical Sciences, MPLS and GLAM Divisions in the allocation of available funds.

The total sum available for disbursement is limited and as such IndOx will be awarding small grants (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 must demonstrate that they have applied to their departments/faculties and colleges as well as to any other relevant sources of funding within and outside Oxford, indicating the (potential and/or awarded) amounts available from such sources. Funding will be made available after receiving a full statement of monies received from other sources within and outside the University. 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.
