Aviation’s non-CO2 impacts on the climate 2026

This grant funds research into how aviation affects climate beyond carbon dioxide emissions. You can get up to £2.3 million for collaborative research projects. The funding focuses on understanding non-CO2 impacts from aviation and how they change over time. Your research should help identify ways to reduce these impacts. The work should inform airline industry decisions and government policy. This is for research institutions and universities, not businesses. The deadline is rolling, so you can apply at any time. You must work with other research partners on your project.

This grant is for universities and research institutions in England doing climate science research. You need to work with other research partners on collaborative projects. This is not for businesses or individual researchers working alone.

Apply for funding to deliver collaborative research which focuses on the underpinning science of aviation’s non-carbon dioxide (non-CO2) impacts and how they interact with climate over time with the view to identifying benefits, mitigation options, informing industry and government policy decisions.
