Strategic infrastructure outlines

Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)

infrastructureequipmentresources

Apply for funding to purchase strategic infrastructure including equipment, resources or both. The funding seeks to improve UK scientific capability and enable cutting-edge research of high priority to EPSRC. This funding is for either purchase and set-up of infrastructure or resources to support existing infrastructure. The full economic cost (FEC) of your infrastructure must be at least £400,000. EPSRC expects no more than six applications from each institution per year.

Small Grant

Mathematical sciences small grants

Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)

mathematicssmall-grantsresearch

Applications to the Mathematical Sciences Small Grants funding opportunity must focus on original research projects. The majority of the research must be within the remit of the EPSRC Mathematical sciences theme. This funding opportunity follows a different assessment process to EPSRC's responsive mode opportunities. Small grants are a mechanism for supporting Mathematical Sciences research which does not require funding at the level generally seen within standard research grants. Full applications can be submitted at any time and will be considered by EPSRC on a rolling basis.

Network Grant

EPSRC network grant: Nov 2023: responsive mode

Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)

N/A – N/Anon-repayable

networkcollaborationinterdisciplinary

Network grants are for researchers at eligible research organisations. EPSRC will support costs of building interdisciplinary research communities. You can apply for a network grant in any area within the remit of EPSRC. Network grants aim to develop new interdisciplinary research communities and topics by supporting interaction between researchers and relevant science, technology and industrial groups. We expect networks to lead to new collaborative multidisciplinary research applications. Some may develop into virtual centres of excellence.

Research Grant

EPSRC working with overseas scientists: Nov 2023: responsive mode

Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)

internationalcollaborationlead-agency

This is an opportunity for you to work with researchers in Ireland, Luxembourg, Brazil, Germany and the US through EPSRC's lead agency agreements. The majority of the UK research must fall within EPSRC remit. We will award 80% of the full economic cost (FEC) of the UK costs of the project. Your overseas partners are funded by the relevant overseas agency. The aim is to reduce current barriers to working internationally by allowing researchers to submit a single collaborative application with a joint funding decision, informed by a single lead agency review.

Award

EPSRC new investigator award: Nov 2023: responsive mode

Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)

new-investigatorearly-careerresearch

This funding opportunity is for people who are establishing their own independent research vision. New investigator awards are for researchers at eligible research organisations. EPSRC encourages projects with a single, clear research vision and the identification of career development opportunities for new investigators. The new investigator award scheme is intended to support individuals who hold an academic lectureship position (or equivalent) and have not previously led a research group. Eligibility is determined on the basis of funding history, not years post-PhD or job title.

Research Grant

EPSRC discipline hopping in ICT, Nov 2023: responsive mode

Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)

£3 – £24non-repayable

discipline-hoppingICTinterdisciplinary

This is an opportunity for information and communications technology (ICT) researchers to use their expertise in other disciplines, or for other researchers to apply their expertise to ICT. You must be based at an eligible UK research organisation. You must be 'hopping' into or from one of the ICT research areas covered by this funding opportunity. You should have a proven track record of research in your home discipline and demonstrate how you would develop skills and collaborations with other disciplines or users. You must show how you will use interdisciplinary research and collaborative development to benefit the ICT research community.
