Shortly after the closing of the Expression of Interest period (closes 31st January), you will receive an email inviting you to join an online social media environment (called Chatter) together with all the researchers who have expressed interest in this programme.
In the Chatter group you will be able to look for and communicate with possible collaborators. You need to find other researchers with whom you build a team (3-5 members), design a suitable research project together and apply for an IFS-SEARCA Collaborative Research Grant.
Even if you already know the other reaearchers with whom you will build a team, you are all required to participate in the Chatter group and register the team there.
Further instructions will be available when you join the Chatter group.
Best wishes,
IFS/SEARCA team.
