The Software Sustainability Institute is a UK-based group funded by UK Research Council money and offers fellowships to academics to promote reproducible research and better software - one of their mottos is "Better Research Through Better Software", and I was wearing that t-shirt for my talk at FOSS4G last week!
The Institute is funding another round of fellowships for 2014, applications close on Friday (but its a fairly short form) and I think a lot of their goals overlap with OSGeo goals in the open software space. You'll get £3000 for activities such as conferences (which could get a UK person to Portland for FOSS4G 2014!) More details are here: http://www.software.ac.uk/fellowship-programme there are some restrictions on applicants (such as they should be working in UK-related research at an academic institute) but otherwise the current bunch are a motley crew of assorted scientists (including social science), non-scientists (humanities), developers and programmers.
