Maximising UK adaptation to climate change research projects
4 months ago
Last updated: 27 March 2024 -
Apply for funding for transdisciplinary research projects under the UKRI-Defra co-funded Maximising UK Adaptation to Climate Change programme. This is the second phase of programme, to fund world leading strategic research projects to help improve the UK’s resilience to climate change impacts.
You must be based at an eligible UK research organisation to apply.
You must work with the adaptation hub to ensure that findings from these research grants are aligned with policy needs. The full economic cost (FEC) per project is £2 million for up to 30 months.
Before applying for funding, check the following:
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 applyIt is expected that project teams will incorporate researchers covering a broad range of disciplines across the remits of , , , and and beyond, as well as policymakers, practitioners, industry, public engagement professionals and wider civil society. All applications should include NERC remit researchers and must cover at least two UKRI council remits (NERC and one other) as a minimum, although you are encouraged where appropriate to utilise the breadth of expertise supported through the funding opportunity.
New collaborations and partnerships are encouraged, especially across disciplines and sectors, as the research projects will be required to be transdisciplinary. Full information about the research project team requirements is detailed in the ‘What we are looking for’ section.
You may be involved in no more than two applications submitted to this funding opportunity. Only one of these can be as project lead.
The project lead must be based at a UK research . This includes eligible Public Sector Research Establishments (PSREs) and Independent Research Organisations (IROs).
Project co-leads (previously co-investigator) can be based at a UK research organisation eligible for NERC funding. For this UKRI funding opportunity, project co-leads may also be based at UK businesses, third sector or government organisations. Read for details of eligible organisations and costs. Note that costs associated with project co-leads from a UK business, third sector or government organisation’s contribution to a project must not exceed 30% of the overall cost of the grant at 100% FEC. Additionally, eligible costs differ amongst organisation types, for example, for government organisations we will only fund travel and subsistence.
Other ways different organisations can be involved include:
- project partners: people who will not receive funding directly from the award but will have an integral role in the proposed project. Minor directly incurred costs, such as some travel costs, are acceptable
- subcontractors: people responsible for providing a service only
- dual roles: an organisation or individual can act as both a project partner and be paid non-minor costs to be covered by a subcontract, however this must be fully justified. An example of where dual roles might be required is when an organisation or individual is giving to the project in kind but are also funded to deliver other work to the project
Be aware that neither Defra nor the Met Office should be included as project partners on applications as they are co-funders and partners of this programme, respectively.
For those research projects that would like to collaborate with the Met Office, you will be able to discuss potential activities, but the Met Office cannot offer views on the quality of the application (see ‘Partnering with Stakeholders’ for more information). Defra’s Arm’s Length Bodies who are approved UKRI public sector research establishments are eligible to apply to 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.
International applicantsThis UKRI funding opportunity is focused on maximising adaptation to climate change in the UK. However, climate adaptation is a shared international challenge with many interlinked risks and pathways including but not limited to international supply chains. There may also be opportunities to learn from adaptation strategies explored in other countries.
We do not fund overseas organisations, except for specific costs for project co-leads from Norway and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA). Read more about this in the.
You should include all other international collaborators (or UK partners not based at approved organisations) as project partners.
Equality, diversity and inclusionWe 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
- alternative working patterns
