Developmental pathway funding scheme: invited stage two

4 months ago


Swindon, United Kingdom NERC - the Natural Environment Research Council Full time
Opportunity status: Upcoming Funders: Funding type: Grant Total fund: £30,000,000 Publication date: 2 May 2024 Opening date: 22 May 2024 9:00am UK time Closing date: 3 July 2024 4:00pm UK time

Apply for funding to develop and test novel therapeutics, medical devices, diagnostics and other interventions.

You must be invited to apply for stage two of this funding opportunity.

Your project can start and finish at any stage on the developmental pathway from early development, through pre-clinical refinement and testing to early-phase clinical studies and trials (up to phase 2a).

There is no limit on the amount of funding you can apply for, but it should be appropriate to the project. We usually fund 80% of a project’s full economic cost.

This is an ongoing funding opportunity. Application rounds close every March, July and November.

Who can apply

You can only apply for this funding opportunity if we have invited you to do so following a successful stage one application.

Before applying for funding, check the .

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has introduced new role types for funding opportunities being run on the new UKRI Funding Service.

For full details, visit .

Who is eligible to apply

To be eligible to apply for this funding opportunity you must:

  • be a researcher employed by an eligible research organisation
  • show that you will direct the project and be actively engaged in the work
  • be looking to develop and test novel therapeutics, medical devices, diagnostics and other interventions
  • be part of a team that submitted a Developmental Pathway Funding Scheme (DPFS) stage one application and, after successful assessment, have been invited to submit a stage two application for this opportunity. Additional team applicants can be included that were not in the stage one application

If you do not have a contract of employment for the duration of the proposed project, by submitting an application the research organisation is confirming, if it is successful:

  • contracts will be extended beyond the end date of the project
  • all necessary support for you and the project will be provided, including mentorship and career development for early career researchers
International applicants

You can include international applicants as project co-leads if they provide expertise not available in the UK and make a major intellectual contribution to the design or conduct of the project. You must justify in your application, why their expertise is required, see the ‘Applicant team capability to deliver’ section.

Equality, diversity and inclusion

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
