T-AP, an unprecedented collaboration between humanities and social science research funders from South America, North America and Europe, is a collaboration between humanities and social science research funders. We have partnered to increase transatlantic research collaboration in the social sciences and humanities. This includes strengthening the supports for research cooperation and adopting policies to meet the needs of 21st century research.

T-AP aims to enhance the ability of funders, research organisations and researchers to engage in transnational dialogue and collaboration. It works to identify common challenges and promote a culture of collaboration in social science and humanities research. It facilitates the formation of networks within the social sciences and humanities and enables interdisciplinary collaboration. T-AP also strives to heighten awareness of the role the social sciences and humanities play in addressing 21st century challenges.

The Platform undertakes two types of activities:

• Offering joint calls for research in areas of strong potential for international collaboration.
• Collaborating to align policies and practices to facilitate international collaboration in the social sciences and humanities.
