NERC Urgency Funding Opportunity

We are seeking applications for funding to support research projects that respond quickly to transient, unexpected environmental research opportunities.

The aim of this funding is to enable researchers to collect valuable data at the start of an event before other events and actions affect the data collection.

The full economic cost of your project can be up to £100,000, and we will fund up to 80% of the full economic cost.

Projects are expected to last up to one year and must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for NERC funding.

Eligibility Criteria
  • You must be a resident in the UK and employed by an eligible UK research organisation.
  • Your project lead must be employed at lecturer (or equivalent) level or above.
  • You cannot apply if you have been named on another full application to this scheme in the previous two years.
Project Partners

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

International Applicants

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).

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

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