Overview
EPSRC programme grants give flexible funding to world-leading research groups tackling major research challenges. A team of internationally recognised scientists or engineers focuses on one strategic research theme, and EPSRC treats these as critical mass investments across its engineering and physical sciences portfolio. This listing is the full proposal stage. Funding can be awarded for up to six years. The page does not give a maximum; the amount depends on the theme. Only applicants invited after a successful outline application can submit a full proposal. You must be based at an eligible UK research organisation. There is no closing date.
