The Irish Research Council (IRC) has launched New Foundations 2024
New Foundations is a key driver in progressing IRC’s strategic priorities by enabling awardees to pursue research, networking or dissemination activities within and across the diversity of disciplines.
The scheme provides support for:
- research actions;
- the development of networks and consortia;
- conference and workshop development; and
- capacity building for interdisciplinary collaboration.
Through partnerships with researchers, diverse community organisations can bring new evidence and insights to enhance their services and impact for those that need them. The scheme also includes strands supported by government departments and agencies. In each of the past three years, a dedicated strand of the call has provided opportunities for researchers to work on important areas of policy, including global development, crime, creativity and children.
The New Foundations 2024 scheme supports eligible researchers who intend to pursue research, networking and/or dissemination activities within and across a diversity of disciplines. Eligible applicants must, on the call deadline of 20 June 2024, hold a contract of sufficient duration with an eligible HEI or a recognised RPO to carry out the proposed research from the project start date (Q4 2024) until the project end date.
Please note that a briefing webinar will take place on 16 May 2024 at 10am (Irish time).
