A healthier Scotland (AHRC SFC knowledge exchange programme)

The AHRC and the Scottish Funding Council (SFC) are pleased to announce a call for knowledge exchange projects of mutual strategic interest in the field of health and the environment. AHRC and SFC have agreed to total funding of £500, 000 for this call. The level of funding available for any single project will vary depending on the scope of activities and the extent of the collaboration across the HEI and non HEI partners. For guidance, a maximum AHRC/SFC contribution to any single project will be in the order of £50, 000 per annum for up to two years.
 
The AHRC SFC Knowledge Exchange Programme aims to:

• support research based knowledge exchange projects that are driven by the clear and strong involvement of non Higher Education Institution (HEI) partners and which lead to significant outcomes for those organisations as well as for the HEI(s);
• promote the contribution that the arts and humanities can make to a healthier Scotland, specifically in the context of the environment and health, and;
• contribute strategically to the Scottish Government’s national objective for a healthier Scotland
