Digital Economy: Sustainable Digital Society

We are investing up to £5 million (at 80% full economic cost) of EPSRC funding to support around six sociotechnical, interdisciplinary, co-created, novel research projects.

The projects should explore user-focused, transformational digital technologies and services to achieve a sustainable digital society.

The Digital Economy Theme welcomes multidisciplinary research that spans the whole of the remit of UK Research and Innovation. The research must be at least 50% within EPSRC’s remit to qualify for funding.

TRDF: Transformative Research Technologies

To pump prime the next generation of cutting-edge enabling research technologies with the potential for transformative impact in biosciences research.

The 2020 strategic highlight is on the detection and diagnosis of plant and animal diseases which will allow researchers to investigate problems caused by endemic or emerging pathogens or pests.

ARCHER 2 Pioneer Projects

EPSRC wants to encourage researchers to consider what they can do to significantly push the boundaries in computational research using High Performance Computing (HPC) in their field.

This funding opportunity is for researchers to apply for large amounts of computational resource to conduct computationally intensive modelling, simulation and calculations. Projects should be ambitious and pioneering, we encourage a high-risk/high-reward strategy, and outputs should have significant potential for a high future impact.

Second opportunity for Transformative Healthcare Technologies – Development Phase

The second funding opportunity for Transformative Healthcare Technologies is a high risk, high return initiative and will be implemented in two phases. Phase 1, the development phase, will identify projects that demonstrate readiness in order to deliver an ambitious programme of research in Phase 2.

In the programme delivery phase, awardees in development phase will be invited to bid into a second funding opportunity, where we envisage supporting around four to six substantive programmes of research.

EPSRC is currently inviting outline proposals to the second funding opportunity for transformative healthcare technologies for offer of awards in phase 1, the development phase.

Preparing for future clean air challenges: interdisciplinary research and innovation consortia

We invite proposals for interdisciplinary consortia under the second wave of the Strategic Priorities Fund Clean Air Programme. The aim is to:

  • equip the UK to tackle new and emerging air quality challenges
  • investigate changing emissions and exposure patterns and health impacts on high-risk groups.

EPSRC New Horizons 2020 full proposals: invitation only

The aim of the funding opportunity was to challenge the breadth of the Mathematical Sciences and Physical Sciences community to formulate adventurous, high-risk, discovery research proposals that envisaged ‘new horizons’ in the EPSRC landscape.

Only proposals successful at the initial stage are invited to submit a full proposal.

Responsive Manufacturing

This funding opportunity is open only to those who were successful at the outline stage of the Responsive Manufacturing funding opportunity and have been invited to submit a full proposal.

The EPSRC Manufacturing the Future Theme will provide up to £10 million (Research Council contribution) to support a portfolio of Responsive Manufacturing research projects.

Research Software Engineer fellowships 2020

Up to £4.5 million of funding is available from EPSRC to support approximately four to eight Research Software Engineer (RSE) fellows in the EPSRC remit for a duration of up to five years.

Up to £0.6 million of funding is available from STFC to support one RSE fellow in the STFC remit for a duration of up to five years.

Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases 2020

The central theme is the quantitative or computational understanding of pathogen transmission dynamics.

Applicants welcome from transdisciplinary teams who research the:

  • ecological
  • evolutionary
  • social drivers

which influence the transmission dynamics of infectious diseases of animals, humans and plants.

Stephen Hawking fellowship

You can apply if you are a postdoctoral researcher working in theoretical physics or related areas of mathematics and computer science.

Each year we aim to fund up to 10 of the next generation’s visionary scientists. Fellowships can last for up to four years and the funding you can receive varies widely.
