Proposals are invited for short-term projects addressing and mitigating the health, social, economic, cultural and environmental impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak.

UKRI Interdisciplinary Circular Economy Hub

UKRI invites a full proposal for an Interdisciplinary Circular Economy Hub. Up to £3.27 million (at 80% FEC) is available to support up to one hub for up to 45 months from 1 January 2021. An application will only be accepted from the successful UKRI Interdisciplinary Circular Economy Coordinators.

Hardware for efficient computing

There is a need to develop new hardware solutions beyond the Von Neumann architecture to achieve greater computer efficiency. A total of £3 million of funding is available to support 4-6 projects (18–36 months) under this funding opportunity.

Marine Wave Energy

The Wave Energy Roadmap commissioned through the Supergen Offshore Renewable Energy Hub concludes that targeted research and innovation will play an important role in the Wave Energy journey to commercialisation. As a result, EPSRC is looking to fund proposals, particularly in the key areas highlighted by the roadmap:

  • novel designs for niche applications
  • survivability and reliability of devices in the marine environment
  • power take off and control systems
  • modelling, forecasting and evaluation of wave energy resource
  • new materials for Wave Energy Converters.

ISCF Industrial Decarbonisation Research and Innovation Centre

Following the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund (ISCF) Industrial Decarbonisation Research and Innovation Centre Champion funding opportunity which identified a leader for the research components of this challenge, we now invite one full proposal from the champion to fund a multidisciplinary research and innovation programme, which currently does not exist at the scale.

National Nuclear User Facility phase 2a

Eligible groups can apply for equipment and facilities to carry out underpinning science and engineering research in nuclear fission. Up to £23 million is available to provide, refresh and update underpinning multi-user equipment with a primary focus on nuclear energy research on active samples across the UK.

Decarbonising Heating and Cooling 2

This funding opportunity is to fund proposals to support the goal of the decarbonisation of heating and cooling.  Proposals must be at least 50% within the remit of EPSRC or at least 50% within the remit of NERC.

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.

Multidisciplinary research between cybersecurity research institutes

We are inviting ambitious proposals for research activities to bridge across the different cybersecurity research communities operating under the four joint EPSRC-National Cyber Security Centre Research Institutes.

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.
