Next generation artificial intelligence (AI): explainable AI

Apply for funding for projects focused on speculative and high-risk fundamental research with the potential to deliver high reward and a step change in the explainability of future AI systems.

You must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for UK Research and Innovation funding.

Mathematical Sciences Early Independence Fellowship

Apply for an early independence fellowship if your research focus is within EPSRC Mathematical Sciences remit.

You must have:

  • a PhD
  • evidence of career consolidation and past productivity
  • plans for establishing your own research niche that enables a step-change towards independence

Isambard-AI and Zenith AIRR supercomputers: Gateway route

Apply for 10,000 graphics processing unit hours on the Isambard-AI and Zenith supercomputers for artificial intelligence-related research and development projects.

Open to UK researchers from academia, industry, or other organisations.

Isambard-AI and Zenith AIRR supercomputers: Rapid Access route

UK-registered micro, small and medium businesses can apply for 20,000 graphics processing unit hours on the Isambard-AI and Zenith AI Research Resource (AIRR) supercomputers for early-stage artificial intelligence product research and development.

Mathematical sciences postdoctoral fellowship

These are personal, career development focused awards for the mathematical sciences.

You must have either:

  • a PhD
  • more than four years’ experience in a relevant field by the start of your fellowship

Candidates with more research experience may prefer to apply for our open fellowship.

International Travel Award Scheme for the Biological Sciences

Apply for funding to visit international partners, in order to initiate collaborations, prepare joint funding proposals, visit overseas facilities or attend European consortia-building events. Stays may be of up to one month in duration.

You must be an existing BBSRC-supported researcher in order to apply for funding.

Work with US-based researchers on environmental science: NERC-NSF lead agency

Apply for funding to work with US-based researchers on an environmental science application.

Collaborative work is governed by a lead agency agreement between NERC and NSF.

The UK-based applicant must be:

  • based at a UK research organisation eligible for NERC funding
  • employed at lecturer (or equivalent) level or above

Mathematical sciences small grants

Applications to the Mathematical Sciences Small Grants funding opportunity must focus on original research projects.

This funding opportunity will follow a different assessment process to EPSRC’s responsive mode opportunities.

Standard EPSRC eligibility rules apply.

PATT travel claim for competitively awarded observation time

Claim back travel and subsistence costs when visiting an astronomy telescope. The visit must be for competitively awarded science observation time.

You must be a UK-based researcher at an eligible UK institution.

You must not already hold or have access to a travel grant from the Panel for the Allocation of Telescope Time (PATT).

Pre-announcement: Engineering Biology Programme: foundational technology hubs
