Aimed at researchers at Campus México.

The DIV Fund finances development-oriented innovations (in technology, public policy, business models, or social behavior) that have already been tested in the real world and aim to generate rigorous evidence of impact in order to scale up. It operates in three stages: Pilot (up to $200,000 USD), Testing and Positioning for Scaling (up to $500,000–750,000 USD), and Scaling (up to $1.5 million USD).

The fund is explicitly open to universities and research institutions, as well as NGOs, social enterprises, and consortia. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year.

IZEA invites researchers and doctoral students from any country to carry out research projects related to Enlightenment Studies through research stays in Halle, Germany.

The program provides access to one of Europe's most important specialized libraries on the subject, as well as to the historical archives of the university and the Francke Foundations, in addition to opportunities to participate in the institution's academic life (seminars, research networks).

The topics cover intellectual history, philosophy, literature, the history of science, culture, politics, religion, and the dissemination of knowledge during the 18th century. At the end of the program, the fellows present their findings at a public lecture.

The EUI offers this framework so that established, internationally recognized scholars can conduct their research in one of its four departments (Economics, History, Law, and Political and Social Sciences), participating in seminars, colloquia, and possibly supervising theses. The duration and funding vary by department—this is key to your situation:

Political and Social Sciences: funds stays of up to exactly 3 months (although longer stays are welcome, funding is limited to that duration). It also considers exceptional early-career researchers, not just established ones.

Law: Provides funding for only 1 to 2 months for some successful applicants (although office and library space are provided for the entire duration of the stay if it is longer).

History: Finances for 4 to 6 months (slightly above your limit).

Economics: Applications are accepted on both application deadlines (March and September); the duration is not specified in this particular call for applications.

The COALAR scholarship program seeks to strengthen ties between Australia and Latin America at the institutional, business, and people-to-people levels. Priority areas include Culture and Entrepreneurship; Education and Research (development of bilateral educational initiatives, alumni networks, and dialogue on education policy); Environment and Energy Transition (explicitly including water management, biodiversity, decarbonization, renewable energy, and disaster risk reduction); Indigenous Peoples; and Mining/Resource Technology. Funding ranges from AUD 15,000 to AUD 50,000 per project, with a total fund of AUD 300,000 for the cycle.

Application Structure: The Australian organization is the formal applicant and must have a project implementation or support partner in Mexico. In other words, the UP would participate as the Mexican partner in the project, but it needs an Australian institution—one that has already been identified—to lead the application.

GDLab, an initiative of the IDB Group, invites proposals for research that generates rigorous causal evidence on how regulatory, financial, fiscal, and labor reforms differentially affect the economic opportunities of women and men in Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as on the effectiveness of policies designed to reduce these gaps.

Priority thematic areas include regulatory simplification and digital government, financial regulation and access to credit, tax policy, and labor regulation and formal employment. Proposals addressing the differential impacts of these reforms on indigenous peoples, people of African descent, and people with disabilities are also welcome.

Proposals must employ rigorous quantitative methods capable of establishing causal relationships (structural models, experimental or quasi-experimental evaluations) and must focus on one or more of the IDB’s borrowing member countries (including Mexico). Funding is available in two categories: quantitative assessments (up to $20,000 USD) or pilot interventions (up to $100,000 USD). Applications must be submitted in English through the Oxford Abstracts platform.

The FID funds innovative solutions—whether technological, social, financial, methodological, or environmental—with high impact potential to combat poverty and inequality in low- and middle-income countries. Mexico is listed on the OECD’s DAC list as an eligible upper-middle-income country.

The priority sectors are education, health, climate change, and gender equality, although the fund is open to any sector that addresses poverty and inequality. The FID works at different stages of a project’s development, from the design and prototyping of an early-stage idea (Prepare Grants, up to €50,000), through piloting (Pilot Grants, up to €200,000), impact assessment and growth (Scale Grants, up to €1.5 million), to the transition to mass scale (up to €4 million).

Universities, research institutes, governments, NGOs, and companies may apply, either independently or as part of a consortium; individuals and multilateral organizations may not apply.

The Spencer Foundation’s Vision Grants are planning grants that bring together a team of researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and community partners for 12 to 18 months to collaboratively develop ambitious research projects aimed at transforming education systems toward greater equity. It is an open-ended program that spans disciplines such as education, anthropology, philosophy, psychology, sociology, law, economics, history, and neuroscience as they relate to central questions about education.

The application process has two key deadlines: first, the letter of intent must be submitted no later than August 12, 2026; second, the complete proposal must be submitted no later than September 16, 2026. Receiving a Vision Grant is a prerequisite for subsequently applying for a larger grant (“Transformative Research Grant”).

Funding is not awarded directly to individuals; all proposals must be submitted through an administering organization (such as a university), and the Foundation accepts applications from organizations outside the United States. Important: The focus is specifically on research into educational and pedagogical systems, not the social sciences in general.

The Lloyd’s of London Foundation invites university scholars and research institutions to submit projects that improve the understanding and management of risk, for the public good and accessible to all.

The specific thematic area of this call for proposals is climate change adaptation and mitigation, including current and future climate- and humanitarian-related risks arising from fires, floods, droughts, changes in weather patterns, and other natural disasters, both in the United Kingdom and globally.

Research that has a clear connection to the financial dimension of risk and its impact on society is particularly valued, as is a clear path toward practical impact through collaboration with non-academic stakeholders.

Proposals that aim for immediate commercial results, lack a clear research methodology, or do not involve non-academic stakeholders will not be accepted.

The DAAD, as part of its bilateral agreement with Mexico (through ANUIES, the Ministry of Education, and UNAM), invites professors and researchers with doctoral degrees who are affiliated with Mexican universities that are members of ANUIES to undertake short-term research stays at institutions of higher education or research centers in Germany.

This call for applications funds stays ranging from 14 days to 3 months, with monthly payments of 2,000 (assistant professors/lecturers) to 2,150 (professors) euros, depending on the applicant’s academic rank. Important: As this is a bilateral program, the award of the fellowship aims to maintain a balanced exchange in both directions between Mexico and Germany; however, unlike other DAAD funding lines, this specific call for Mexico (through ANUIES) does not require the researcher to already have a confirmed German counterpart at the time of application.

A call for proposals that supports partnerships between higher education institutions in Mexico and the United Kingdom to strengthen gender-sensitive policies, systems, and practices, including topics such as women’s leadership, employability, safe institutional spaces, and women’s participation in STEM.

Funding of up to £25,000 per project for two 17-month fellowships beginning in January 2027. Important: UP may only participate as a Mexican partner institution; the application must be initiated and led by a UK institution.
