EPSRC - Platform grants

Export as iCalendar

(OUTLINE - full stage if invited has a September deadline)

Platform grants are one of the key mechanisms by which EPSRC strives towards maintaining and developing the strength of the UK engineering and scientific research base, by supporting, through underpinning funding, established UK groups considered to be world leading in their fields. The aim of Platform Grant funding is to provide a baseline of flexible support (a platform) that can be used for the retention of key staff, feasibility studies, longer-term research and International Networking. This flexibility should enable the group to take a strategic view of their research which will be enhanced by the submission of responsive mode applications during the lifetime of the Platform Grant.

Applicants

Applicants are required to have an internationally leading reputation and a high international profile. They must be able to demonstrate that their group has a strong track record in obtaining support from EPSRC and other funding sources. They should hold a substantial portfolio (a range of grants relating to the research area of the Platform Grant) of current EPSRC research grant funding, typically over £2 million in value (not including fellowships, traing grants, programme grants) which Platform Grant funding would underpin. In some cases funding from other sources (eg other Research Councils, EU, Technology Strategy Board, and Industry) may be taken into account depending on the nature of the funding, and type of grant. As a guide this portfolio should be at least double the level of resources that Platform Grant funding would provide. The portfolio that would be underpinned should be sustained to a significant degree during the period of the proposed Platform Grant.
