SIXTH CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR STEG LARGER RESEARCH GRANTS

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: 02 February 2026, 23:59 BST

LOCATION: United Kingdom

STEG invites applications to the sixth call for proposals for Larger Research Grants (LRGs). The program can fund research assistance, data collection and/or purchase, and teaching buyouts, or relevant remuneration practices, for the principal investigator and co-investigators from partner institutions.

ELIGIBILITY:

Country and Policy Relevance: Please note that an important criterion for funding of proposals is the relevance to policy in low-income countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Proposals focused on middle- and/or high-income countries need to make a clear case for the relevance of the research to policy in specific low-income countries. Proposals are also evaluated on the extent to which the research findings (including those from comparative work or from studies in other geographies) might be relevant to policy in specific sub-Saharan countries.

All funded projects, regardless of location, will have to discuss within their final report and research note (see LRG Applicant Guide, available at the bottom of this page) the potential lessons for policymakers in low-income and sub-Saharan countries.

They welcome applications to our LRG calls from researchers all over the world and encourage applications that propose collaboration between researchers from lower- and higher-income countries.

Principal investigators applying to LRG calls should currently have a PhD or be enrolled in a PhD programme. Although there are no formal qualification requirements for co-investigators, co-investigators on STEG-funded projects usually have a PhD or are enrolled in a PhD programme. The knowledge, expertise, and qualifications of the entire research team will be taken into account when evaluating the proposal.

PhD Students/Candidates: They welcome submissions from PhD students to our regular LRG calls. However, given the scale of funding of our LRGs, all applicants will be assessed on their capability and experience in conducting data collection and research more broadly at this scale.

COVID-19 Impacts: Researchers whose proposals rely on face-to-face surveys or interactions should clearly discuss the implications for the project of potential delays and the alternatives to face-to-face fieldwork in the event that the fieldwork is delayed by COVID-19. 

BENEFIT:

Large Research Grants (LRGs) are awarded up to the value of £100,000. Grants also support travel to field sites, even when secondary data is utilized.
