Pre-outline, outline and full application stages. There are no deadlines and meetings to consider outlines are held every 2 months.

Programme Grants are a flexible mechanism to provide funding to world-leading research groups to address significant major research challenges. They are intended to support a variety of activities focussing on one strategic research theme. Although it is expected that most proposals will be interdisciplinary and collaborative they can address key challenges in a single discipline.

Applicants must discuss their suitability for Programme Grant funding with an identified EPSRC contact before submitting an Outline application.
