INI-HIMR Network Support Programme
There are two deadlines each year: 28 February and 28 August
We are delighted to announce a new programme of network support to be co-sponsored by the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences (INI) and the Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research (HIMR).
Grant holders must be based at a UK Higher Education Institutions or similar
Value of award: The scheme offers modest funding packages over two years totalling £5K – £10K.
Scope of the scheme: INI-HIMR Network Support is designed to provide modest funding so that these networks can continue and intensify their work, and new ones be formed.
Applications should be made via the application form on the Newton Institute website.
Duration: Networks can run for a maximum of two years until 31 July 2028.
Eligible Costs:
o Associated travel costs (national and international)
o Meeting costs (e.g. catering costs)
Your proposal should include:
o The name of the grant holder and their institution.
o A description of the network, its purpose, past activities (if relevant), and planned activity.
o The names of key participants and stakeholders.
o An EDI plan.
o Information on any existing funding and applications for such.
o A budget.
How to apply: Applications should be made via the application form on the Newton Institute website [under INI Network Support for the Mathematical Sciences]. Please email your completed applications to the Newton Institute at office@newton.ac.uk
Review process: Applications will be considered by the Scientific Steering Committee of the INI & the Chair of the Heilbronn Institute. The applications will be evaluated on the underlying science, the value added that such a network would bring, and any contributions to improving equality, diversity and inclusivity in the mathematical sciences community.
Additional guidelines
o The funding is intended to sustain the network over the whole funding period. It is thus expected that activities are carried out throughout this period.
o The funding is not intended to support one-off events (e.g. workshops).
o A network should normally have several nodes and/or benefit a significant number of people.
o The inclusion of international researchers is allowed.
o Meetings and workshops organised by networks should generally be open events.
o Proposals should include a brief description of the organisational structure of the network
