Swindon, Swindon, United Kingdom NERC - the Natural Environment Research Council Full time
Funding Opportunity Overview

Status: Open

Funding Type: Grant

Total Fund: £5,000,000

Maximum Award: £312,500

This funding initiative is designed to assist early- to mid-career materials scientists in establishing connections and collaborations with recognized UKRI research programs. The aim is to enhance their research capabilities, broaden their research perspectives, or facilitate the translation of their findings into practical applications.

Eligibility Criteria:

Applicants must be affiliated with a UK research institution that qualifies for Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) funding.

The full economic cost (FEC) of the proposed project can reach up to £312,500, with EPSRC covering 80% of the FEC.

Who Can Apply:

This funding opportunity is targeted at early to mid-career materials researchers aiming to advance their work by connecting with established UK research initiatives. The definition of early to mid-career is broad, encompassing individuals from those newly appointed to their first permanent academic role to those with a modest grant portfolio seeking to expand their professional network.

Applicants should provide compelling evidence in the 'Applicant and team capability to deliver' section of the application form to illustrate their early to mid-career status. The evaluation will not solely rely on years post-PhD or job title; instead, it will consider overall funding history and portfolio. The initiative values diverse career paths and experiences.

Ineligible Applicants:

  • Established academics with extensive research experience and significant contributions to their field over a prolonged period.
  • Individuals holding leadership roles on large EPSRC flagship grants, including:
    • The Henry Royce Institute
    • Programme grants
    • Research hubs
    • Prosperity partnerships
    • National research facilities
    • Networks
    • Strategic Priorities Fund

If you have reviewed the guidance and consulted with your research office but remain uncertain about your eligibility, please seek advice before submitting an application.

International Collaboration:

International applicants may participate as project co-leads (previously co-investigators) from Norwegian institutions.

Resubmission Policy:

Uninvited resubmissions of projects previously submitted to UKRI or any other funding body will not be accepted.
