2024 Global Research Funding Opportunities

York’s Global Research Excellence (GRE) Seed Fund supports investigator-led collaborations that have targeted outcomes while also affording York research teams the ability to take risks and the versatility to work with leading universities, industry, government agencies, IGOs and NGOs from across the world. GRE supports all stages of international research of collaborations from co-creation to knowledge moblization.

The inaugural GRE call has two funding Streams A & B. Please see below for detailed information on guidelines and applications for each GRE funding Stream. If you are planning to apply for funding in either Stream, please reach out to us beforehand.

In addition to GRE Streams A&B, the GRE ethos is also extended to how we support more early- stage international research opportunities at York. Some of these opportunities might not be ready for a GRE Stream A or B proposal yet. For example, York welcomes many visitors from global institutions annually to discuss collaborative research. We are keen to support York faculty organizing such visits to York make the most of these interactions/visits. For more information on this, please see “Other York Internal Funding For International Rese arch”.
