EPSRC standard research grant, Nov 2023: responsive mode

Open UKRI funding opportunity · Grant. Open with no closing date. Opportunity page: https://www.ukri.org/opportunity/epsrc-standard-research-grant-nov-2023-responsive-mode/

Standard research grants are available for researchers at eligible research organisations.

There is no limit on the value of the grant or length of the project. You should ask for what is needed to deliver the proposed programme of research.

Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) will award 80% of the full economic cost (FEC) of the project.

For information on our new approach to EPSRC responsive mode opportunities that opened in November 2023, please see our transition pages.
