Our Team
The complex nature of global development means that solutions-focused research needs to be conducted across disciplines, drawing on the distinct contributions that each can make and encouraging truly original and transformative approaches to multidimensional challenges.
The GCRF provides a unique opportunity to build a global community of researchers committed to sustainable development and the eradication of poverty. It complements, but also significantly expands and develops, other forms of international and multinational funding for development research, including governments, non-governmental bodies and foundations.
The GCRF will allow UK research excellence to be deployed in a strategic way to generate solutions to the most significant and complex problems faced by developing countries while at the same time strengthening their research capability.
