target="_blank" rel="noopener">100th anniversary in 2023</a>, <a href="https://journals.biologists.com/jeb" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Journal of Experimental Biology</a> launched two new grants to support junior faculty staff: <span style="font-size: 17.3333px;">Research Partnership Kickstart Travel Grants and </span><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><a href="/grants/ecr-visiting-fellowships">Early-Career Researcher (ECR) Visiting Fellowships</a>.</span></p> <p>Research Partnership Kickstart Travel Grants aim to support junior faculty staff (e.g. Lecturer, Assistant Professor, Group Leader, Principal Investigator) to travel to another institution (University, Research Centre, Non-Governmental Organisation or Industry Partner Organisation) to initiate a <strong>new</strong> research collaboration and develop, write and submit a major grant application for collaborative research.</p> <p>Each grant is a maximum of £2,000 (or currency equivalent) and can be used towards travel to the collaborator’s institute, and accommodation and subsistence during the visit.</p> </div> <div class="white-block add-viewmore-grey

<h2>Research Partnership Kickstart Travel Grants</h2> <p><span style="color: #000000;">Applicants must be within five years of setting up their first lab/research group and be working in the field of experimental biology relating to animal comparative physiology or biomechanics.</span></p> <p>Each application will be evaluated on the excellence of the candidate as well as benefits and outcomes from the proposed partnership, merit of the research proposal to be submitted to a major funding body, and alignment of the proposal to the core remit of Journal of Experimental Biology.</p> <p>Please review the <a href="https://www.biologists.com/wp-content/uploads/JEB_Kickstart_Travel_Grants_Handbook_100624.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">applicant handbook</a> and <a href="#faq">Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)</a> before completing and submitting your application.</p> <p>Note: We are unable to pay awards to recipients in jurisdictions, countries or regions of the world subject to

considered only from junior faculty staff members (e.g. Lecturer, Assistant Professor, Group Leader, Principal Research Investigator) within five years (excluding any career breaks) of their first faculty position.</li> <li>Applicants must be working in the field of experimental biology relating to animal comparative physiology or biomechanics.</li> <li>Grants do not support attendance at scientific meetings, conferences or training courses.</li> <li>Research Partnership Kickstart Travel Grants can be awarded once only to an applicant.</li> <li>Applicants cannot apply for both a Research Partnership Kickstart Travel Grant and an ECR Visiting Fellowship within a 12-month period.</li> <li>If an application is unsuccessful, the applicant cannot reapply within 12 months (i.e. they may not reapply in the following funding round).</li> <li>The date of travel must occur within six months of funding being awarded.</li> <li>Applications will not be considered retrospectively.</li> <li>The grant only applies to new collaborations; existing research collaborations will not be supported.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Guidelines for completing the
