The Natural Environment Research Council invites proposals for a three-year collaborative research award that will constitute the Urban Atmospheric Science Programme.
The overall aim is to generate new knowledge and predictive capacity of key environmental processes governing the distribution, transport, and transformation of atmospheric pollutants in urban areas, that is informed by, and informs, research on pollutant exposure and risk to human health.
The programme will deliver innovative environmental science with strong links to health research and the required infrastructure in an urban environment. The successful consortium will be required to identify and justify the science questions to be addressed and the infrastructure investments required to deliver the science programme.
The research programme would be expected to commence October 2009, for a period of three years, completing in October 2012. Proposals should not exceed £2·75m (cost to NERC).
Please see the Announcement of Opportunity document below for full details of the call.
