Standard research grants are for researchers at UK higher education institutions, research council institutes, UKRI-approved independent research organisations and NHS bodies.
We encourage:
- collaboration with other researchers, industry, the public sector and other relevant partners
- high-risk and high-return research into new concepts and techniques.
Projects can range in size from small, short-term grants to multi-million-pound research programmes lasting several years.
There is no limit on the size of the grant or length of the project.
We will award 80% of the full economic costs of the project, and your organisation must agree to find the balance.
