Enhancing resilience to wildfires in the wildland-urban interface

This UKRI opportunity closed at 4pm UK time on 1 October 2026. It supports international interdisciplinary research into wildfire risks, impacts and practical resilience measures. The UK project full economic cost ceiling is described as £1.58 million, with £1,575,000 in the page metadata. UKRI normally funds 80% of full economic costs, with specified exceptions. These cost ceilings and the £10 million programme budget are not cash grant amounts per applicant. A UK project lead based at a research organisation eligible for UKRI funding, collaborating with eligible US and/or Canadian partners. The UK component must span at least two research council remits. Proposals must address at least two of the three programme aims, including solutions for adaptation, mitigation or recovery. Eligible Norwegian international co-leads have specific cost rules. Other organisations, including businesses, may participate under the project-partner rules; they are not automatically eligible UK lead applicants. UK eligibility is nationwide. Applications for this round have closed. The UK lead’s research organisation submitted through the UKRI Funding Service after the mandatory expression of interest. Check UKRI for a separately announced future opportunity; the old pre-announcement and Find a Grant copy do not establish another open round.
