N8Collabor8 Fund
To celebrate its 15th Anniversary the N8 Research partnership has announced a new funding stream
A pre-call announcement for the N8 Collabor8 Fund – the N8’s new community building funding awards scheme – was made this week.
The call itself will open on Monday 10 January and close for applications on 14 March 2022. The purpose of the prior announcement is to give researchers across the N8 advance notice and to allow them to start thinking about community formation ahead of the official call launch.
There is a news story on the N8 website and N8 have also launched the Collabor8 page, where the scheme guidance and application form will be available to access from 10 January:

Please disseminate widely. N8 are particularly keen to encourage applications involving, or led by, researchers who are typically under-represented in pump priming or community building schemes.
