Storm Risk Mitigation through Improved Prediction & Impact Modelling
Call for proposals
Closing date: 16:00 on 25 March 2010
Proposals are invited for a major new research programme on Storm Risk Mitigation through Improved Prediction and Impact Modelling. This £4·9m programme directly relates to the delivery of NERC Natural Hazards theme - to enable better forecasting and mitigation of hydro-meteorological hazards - and UK Government's strategic goals with respect to the adaptation to, and mitigation of, climate change. This programme will contribute towards Living With Environmental Change (LWEC) objectives.
This call is for proposals to address each of the three main deliverables of the programme. Up to £4·2m is available for the call, with up to £2·1m to address Deliverable 1 (Numerical Weather Prediction) and up to £1·05m to address each of Deliverable 2 (Climate Science) and Deliverable 3 (Impacts). It is expected that three consortium-style grants will be funded, one to address each of the deliverables.
Proposals for this call are invited from eligible UK researchers; see the NERC Research Grants Handbook for eligibility criteria.
The closing date for proposals is 16:00 on 25 March 2010.
