Applications Open: ERICA Community-Led Research Scheme
Applications are invited from early career researchers at UCC and Health Research Charities Ireland (HRCI) member charities for the Engaged and Inclusive Research Culture Alliance (ERICA) Community-Led Research Scheme, a funded initiative that puts community priorities at the heart of research.
The ERICA Community-Led Research Scheme is funded by the Wellcome Trust and delivered through a partnership between University College Cork, Health Research Charities Ireland (HRCI) and the British Science Association.
Applications are invited from early career researchers at UCC and Health Research Charities Ireland (HRCI) member charities for the Engaged and Inclusive Research Culture Alliance (ERICA) Community-Led Research Scheme, a funded initiative that puts community priorities at the heart of research. Researchers and charities can apply separately to take part in the scheme. Submit your expression of interest by October 30th 2026.
The scheme recognises communities as experts in their own lived experience. HRCI member charities and the communities they serve will identify the research questions that matter most to them, working alongside UCC researchers to co-design and deliver projects.
The scheme offers dedicated project funding, training, ongoing support and opportunities to build meaningful research partnerships.
Find out more about the scheme, eligibility and how to apply on the ERICA project webpage.
