NERC Grant for Rapid Response to Environmental Emergencies
2 months ago
**Opportunity Overview**
NERC - the Natural Environment Research Council - is seeking applications for urgency funding to support research projects that respond quickly to transient, unexpected environmental research opportunities.
**Funding Details**
The funding is designed to help researchers collect valuable data at the start of an event before other events and actions affect the data collection. The full economic cost of the project can be up to £100,000, and NERC will fund up to 80% of the full economic cost.
**Eligibility Criteria**
To be eligible, the project lead must be a resident in the UK, employed by an eligible UK research organisation, and employed at lecturer (or equivalent) level or above. The organisation must be a higher education institution or a research council institute.
**Project Requirements**
The project must be designed to respond to an unexpected environmental event, and the research must be conducted in a way that minimises disruption to the environment. The project partners must fund their own involvement, and NERC will only fund minor incidental expenses, such as some travel costs, if needed for project partners.
**International Collaboration**
NERC does not fund overseas organisations, except for specific costs for project co-leads from Norway and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA). International collaborators should be included as project partners.
**Equality, Diversity and Inclusion**
NERC is committed to achieving equality of opportunity for all funding applicants. We encourage applications from a diverse range of researchers and support people to work in a way that suits their personal circumstances.
