Starting procedures
The award letter to the research organisation will contain a Starting Confirmation. This acts as the official notification to NERC that the grant has formally started and triggers the payment of funds.
The letter will show an "Announced Start Date", which is usually the date shown on the application form submitted by the applicant. The actual starting date of the grant must be within six months of the announced start date shown on the letter.
The Starting Confirmation must be submitted via the Je-S system, within 42 days of the actual starting date.
