The Institiute of Hazard, Risk and Resilience now has a number of research and funding opportunities.
The British Academy is inviting proposals for projects which focus on the theme of ‘Global (Dis)Order’. Awards of 24 months in duration and up to £200,000 are available.

The Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) in collaboration with the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) is inviting applications for a large grant to fund ambitious social science-focused research with the potential to generate significant economic or societal impact. This opportunity also includes funding for one ‘resilience in crises’ grant. You must be based at a UK organisation eligible for funding. Standard ESRC eligibility rules apply. This is the outline proposal stage of the opportunity. Proposals must be between £1 million and £2.5 million at full economic cost (fEC). ESRC will fund 80% of fEC. Proposals can be up to five years in length. Opening date: 23rd June 2022. Closing date: 20 September 2022 16:00 UK time
Future Leaders Fellowships (FLF) support talented people in universities, businesses, and other research and innovation environments. They also allow universities and businesses to develop their most talented early career researchers and innovators or to attract new people to their organisations, including from overseas. You could apply for funding over four years both to tackle ambitious and challenging research and innovation and to develop your career. Funding can be extended for up to a further three years to support long-term focus on a particular area of research or innovation and continued career development. The aim of the scheme is to develop the next wave of world-class research and innovation leaders in academia and business. It is also open to international applicants looking to take up a role at a UK-based organisation. You can receive funding for work in all research and innovation areas supported by UK Research and Innovation.
