The Particle Physics Grants Panel (PPGP) is responsible for assessing and making recommendations to the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) Executive on research grant applications in particle physics covering:
- scientific exploitation of facilities and projects
- ‘blue skies’ technology research
- theory
- modelling
- data handling
- high-performance computing access

Terms of reference
The panel’s role is to:
- assess and make recommendations to the STFC Executive for research awards in particle physics
- take account, as appropriate, of any strategic advice provided by STFC
- provide clear, concise feedback to applicants
- advise the Science Board and Executive as required on all issues relating to research grants, including monitoring the level of funding allocated to grants per round
- liaise with other bodies as necessary
- carry out such other tasks associated with peer review as the Executive might require
- take account, as appropriate, of the recommendations of external reviewers and the conclusion of specialist peer review panels, as convened by the executive to advise on consolidated grants, contiguous groups of research requests, or research requests which are judged (on the basis of cost or propriety) to warrant such separate in-depth assessment
