This funding opportunity is open to research groups and individuals. We:

  • encourage collaborative research with other UK organisations
  • encourage applications from diverse groups of researchers
  • welcome applications from individuals at any career stage, subject to NERC eligibility criteria
Who is not eligible to apply

You may be involved in no more than two applications submitted to this funding opportunity. Only one of these can be as project lead.

Individuals involved in the delivery of the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) observational campaign element are not eligible to apply for funding through this funding opportunity.

Project partners fund their own involvement. We will only fund minor incidental expenses, such as some travel costs, if needed for project partners.

It is important to note that prior engagement with these partners during the application process is not a requirement of the funding opportunity. These partners should not be included as project partners or sub-contracts on applications as they will engage with the successfully funded projects, ensuring good alignment and collaboration in the final suite of research funded in this programme.

International applicants

We do not fund overseas organisations, except for specific costs for project co-leads (previously co-investigator) from Norway and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA). Read more about this in the .

We are committed to achieving equality of opportunity for all funding applicants. We encourage applications from a diverse range of researchers.

We support people to work in a way that suits their personal circumstances. This includes:

  • career breaks
  • support for people with caring responsibilities
  • flexible working
