Consortium grants
Final closing date: 1 December 2011
Consortium grants support focused, co-ordinated and collaborative research into issues that cannot be addressed through other NERC funding mechanisms.
Whilst the consortium rounds are supported through responsive mode funding, the size and nature of these awards mean that they will often incidentally have a strong strategic element.
Applicants must first submit a concept note for approval by Science & Innovation Managers. The maximum limit on proposals is £3·7m, 100% (Full Economic Cost) for up to five years.
Applications will be sent to external review and applicants may be asked to give a verbal presentation to the moderating panel.
Guidance notes for consortium Grants are available.
