The PI must be of postdoctoral or above status (or have equivalent research experience) and must plan to spend at least 20% of their time (0.2 FTE equivalent) on their prospective award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The involvement of Co-Applicants based overseas is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Genuinely productive and integral interdisciplinarity is a requirement, with the expectation that this will involve collaboration across disciplines. The collaboration can include any SHAPE or STEM discipline as long as the research is led by and grounded in the humanities and\/or social sciences. Applications that do not meet this requirement will be considered ineligible and will not be taken forward through the assessment process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Academy
