Apply to switch your existing funding to COVID-19 priority areas

UKRI has put in place the following process to allow researchers to repurpose existing UKRI standard grant to address COVID-19 research priorities.

Strategic equipment grant

You can apply for funding for cutting-edge equipment that improves your ability to carry out research in any area funded by EPSRC. We fund research into chemistry, engineering, information and communication technologies, materials, mathematical sciences and physics.

STFC: European Southern Observatory fellowship

The European Southern Observatory fellowship programme is designed to help young scientists reach the next stage of their scientific career. You can apply for a postdoctoral fellowship in either Garching (Germany) or Santiago (Chile). You will receive a basic salary funded by ESO.

Secondary Data Analysis Initiative

This grant aims to support further use of existing data resources created by ESRC and other agencies. It is open to researchers at any career stage who wish to develop their skills in using secondary data. The social sciences must represent more than 50% of the research focus and effort.

NERC urgency funding

Apply for funding to respond quickly to transient and unexpected scientific opportunities.

These may be events affecting the environment created by the occurrence of sporadic natural events such as:

  • earthquakes
  • droughts
  • floods
  • ephemeral events in ecosystems.

You must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for NERC funding.

EPSRC discipline-hopping in ICT

You can apply for support to use your ICT skills in a new discipline or learn ICT research skills to apply them in your own discipline.

EPSRC network grant

You can apply for network grants to build new interdisciplinary research communities and topics at any time in any area funded by EPSRC. We fund research into chemistry, engineering, information and communication technologies, materials, mathematical sciences and physics.

BBSRC international travel award scheme

You can apply for up to £3,000 to cover travel and subsistence when travelling outside the UK in support of your BBSRC-funded research.

BBSRC Brazil pump-priming award

You can apply for up to £35,000 over two years to pump-prime collaborations between scientists in the UK and São Paolo state in Brazil. The awards support the development of future applications within our remit under the UK Research and Innovation-São Paulo Research Foundation lead agency agreement.
