Research grants handbook
Introduction and overview
Our handbook sets out the regulations governing our research grants including application procedures and eligibility requirements. It also outlines the funding and facilities available to grant-holders and details the responsibilities of NERC, Investigators and Research Organisations. It must be read in conjunction with the core terms and conditions that have been agreed across all Research Councils. These are outlined in Annex E of the Handbook.
The regulations in effect at any time will be those contained within the most recent version of the handbook.
Separate handbooks, also available at this website, cover the regulations for NERC Fellowships and NERC Studentships.
The research grants handbook is available from our Research Grants Handbook & Forms page.
