Eligibility for the UK Global Talent Visa through the GRANT route
I currently have the opportunity to join a large international project funded through a $70 million initiative over six years and delivered through a collaboration between African institutions and a UK university.
The funder itself is not currently listed among the UKRI-approved endorsed funders. However, the project is formally linked to a UK university and involves international scientific research collaboration, with 6 years collaboration and through 70$ million budget.
In this context, would I still potentially be eligible to apply for the Global Talent Visa through the grant route, or would the funding source prevent eligibility?
