US-Ireland R&D Partnership Programme — Tri-jurisdictional collaborative research funding

About this program

The US‑Ireland Research and Development (R&D) Partnership Programme is a tri‑jurisdictional funding initiative involving agencies in the United States, the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland that supports collaborative research and industry partnerships to generate market‑transferable innovations or improvements in health and healthcare. Projects are funded by each participating agency for the work carried out in its own jurisdiction, with thematic guidance and application routes provided (including mechanisms for submissions to NSF and NIH and a centre‑to‑centre option); deadlines are rolling. Eligible proposals must be tri‑partite (partners from the US, RoI and NI), demonstrably add significant value beyond single‑jurisdiction efforts, and follow the specific submission and eligibility rules of the relevant national funding agencies.
