NERC Pushing the frontiers of environmental research (open - no close date)
Apply for funding to pursue an adventurous, ambitious, curiosity-driven project in environmental research. We welcome:
- multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research
- projects delivered in partnership with other research funders and users
The full economic cost (FEC) of your project can be up to £950,000. We will fund 80% of the FEC.
There is no defined project duration, but awards are usually between three and four years.
This funding opportunity is open to research groups and individuals.
Your research project must address a significant environmental science question, but we welcome applications from individuals who can demonstrate a capability to collaborate with experts from other disciplines to generate innovative research.
We:
- encourage multidisciplinary research and collaborations with other UK organisations
- welcome applications from individuals at any career stage, subject to the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) eligibility criteria
Project partners fund their own involvement. We will only fund minor incidental expenses, such as some travel costs, if needed for project partners.
