IBRO Collaborative Research Grants Program Requirements
- The project-leader must have been a principal investigator for a maximum 7 years and come from an emerging laboratory*. Any extended breaks from research (e.g. maternity, paternity or adoption leave) are accepted and should be justified in the application.
- The collaborator must be a principal investigator and may come from either an emerging* or an established laboratory.
The term “emerging laboratories” refers to laboratories established within the last 7 years and led by an early-career researcher.
Regional Eligibility Requirements
Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Pan-Europe regions
- Project leaders based in one of the Asia-Pacific, Africa, or Pan-Europe regions are only eligible to apply with an inter-regional collaboration (with project collaborators based in different IBRO region).
- Project collaborators may be based anywhere outside of the project leader’s region.
Latin America region
- Project-leaders based in the Latin America region may apply for either intra-regional collaborations (i.e. both project leader and collaborator reside in the Latin America region) or inter-regional collaborations (with collaborators based in a different IBRO region).
US/Canada region
- Project leaders based in the US or Canada may apply for either intra-regional collaborations (between the US and Canada) or inter-regional collaborations (with collaborators based in a different IBRO region).
- While inter-regional collaborations are preferred, intra-regional proposals that clearly demonstrate their benefits to the emerging research group will also be considered. These benefits may include expanding expertise, enhancing resources, or strengthening research capacity at smaller institutions, such as non-R1 universities in the US, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), or non-U15 institutions in Canada.
