Programme Grants for World-Leading Research

NERC invites applications for EPSRC programme grants, providing flexible funding to world-leading research groups addressing significant major research challenges.

Funding should bring together a team of internationally recognised scientists or engineers to focus on one strategic research theme. This critical mass investment will cover a diverse engineering and physical sciences portfolio, benefiting UK research through the concentration of high-performing talent.

We are seeking applicants who can demonstrate the potential for innovative research with a strong impact on their field. Applicants must be based at an eligible UK research organisation and have been invited to apply following a successful outline application.

Funding can be awarded for up to six years, allowing researchers to pursue long-term projects that drive meaningful change. Our standard eligibility rules apply, and applicants should ensure they meet these requirements before submitting their application.

We also offer support for international collaboration, enabling researchers to work with colleagues from around the world. Under this scheme, a project co-lead (international) can be based in a Norwegian institution.

Resubmissions are not accepted unless specifically invited by us. We encourage all applicants to review our eligibility criteria and terms carefully before applying.

The salary range for this position is £60,000 - £90,000 per annum, depending on experience and qualifications. Benefits include opportunities for professional development, a dynamic and supportive work environment, and a chance to contribute to cutting-edge research.
