Funding across research councils
We work with other research councils at the boundaries of our remit to make sure that there are no gaps in funding and that proposals at the interfaces of traditional research disciplines are treated equally with proposals that fall well within research council remits.
Cross Council Funding Agreement (August 2006)
All responsive mode grant applications that extend beyond a single research council's remit will be assessed by peer reviewers from across the relevant research disciplines. Decisions will be made through a single council's peer review process, but any significant element within another council's remit will be funded by the council concerned.
Full details of the Agreement can be found on the Research Councils UK website.
In the case of applications submitted to NERC through the Je-S system that we feel extend into other council's remits, we will discuss the proposal with colleagues in the other research councils. We will agree which council will take the lead in reviewing the proposal and making the award if successful. Other councils will nominate reviewers and, if appropriate, may contribute funding. Applicants will be notified of any changes in the council considering the proposal to that originally submitted.
