Funding programmes for interdisciplinary research

Data set with 127 funding programmes for interdisciplinary research. Table summary (excel) and documents (pdfs).

This data set covers funding opportunities to support interdisciplinarity (and other forms of crossdisciplinary research) in Europe and North America. The data has been collected in two rounds. The first round was between November 2018 and February 2019, and the second January–February 2022. Data set covers funding opportunities from both public and private sources, and all scholarly disciplines in both STEM and SSH. The database covered all Pan-European funding and national data sets from Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, South Africa, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

I collected the guidelines for applicants from each of the funding programmes selected. These were usually in PDF format, and are included in this file. I used the data set to analyse the role of social sciences and humanities in interdisciplinary research. This study will be published in Social Epistemology. This article has more information about data collection and data analysis.
