Check if your research is within EPSRC’s remit
Before making a research proposal, you can check if your research is suitable for EPSRC funding. It’s a good idea to do this if your research is interdisciplinary or not clearly within EPSRC’s research areas.
This is particularly important if you want to apply for an EPSRC standard research grant (a funding opportunity open to a wide range of research and approaches within EPSRC’s remit).
