The British Academy has launched a new, competitive research funding call, Tackling Slavery, Human Trafficking and Child Labour in Modern Business, in partnership with the Department for International Development (DfID).
This programme will fund excellent, policy-oriented research, aimed at addressing the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and advancing the UK’s Aid Strategy, including a particular focus on Sustainable Development Goal 8.7 (SDG 8.7). SDG 8.7 is about taking immediate and effective measures to eradicate forced labour, end modern slavery and human trafficking and secure the prohibition and elimination of the worst forms of child labour.
VALUE AND DURATION
Projects must be up to 16 months in duration, with a maximum value of £200,000. Projects will start no later than 15 November 2017.
ODA ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
All projects are required to demonstrate that they are ‘ODA-eligible’. Only research that has a primary objective which is directly relevant to the problems of developing countries may be counted as ODA. We will require applicants to demonstrate that the proposal is ODA eligible. ODA eligibility is an essential criterion – projects will only be deemed eligible for funding if they can demonstrate that they satisfy ODA eligibility criteria. Please see the additional ODA guidance document which provides more information for applicants.
Deadline for submission 5pm 19th July 2017
