About the GYA Sasha Kagansky Interdisciplinary Grant

The GYA includes a diverse membership of scientists and scholars, in many disciplines, based in low/middle-income and high-income countries. This grant scheme was initiated in 2014, to foster collaboration across the lines that often separate researchers and limit possibilities. The grant scheme facilitates the development of small-scale, innovative, curiosity-driven, exploratory research pilots or prototypes that unite researchers in low/middle-income and high-income countries and cross disciplinary boundaries.
The Sasha Kagansky Interdisciplinary Grant is awarded annually, with up to 10,000 EUR, and is meant to provide seed money to enable GYA members to creatively explore a project idea with a view to securing larger external funding. The grant was re-named in 2021 in honor of late GYA member Alexander (Sasha) Kagansky.

Who can apply: GYA members only. At least two members must apply: one from a low/middle-income and one from a high-income country. GYA Alumni may not apply. Alumni-plus may be part of a team, but not in the majority of applicants.

How to apply: The deadline for 2025/26 applications is 4 August 2025. Application form below.
