EPSRC Mathematical Sciences Small Grants Scheme
| Small Grants are a mechanism for supporting mathematical sciences research which does not require funding at the level generally seen within standard mode. Applications to the mathematical sciences small grants scheme must focus on original research projects or feasibility studies for research projects. EPSRC is looking to support grants in the region of £10,000 – £80,000 at full economic cost (FEC, total amount up to £100,000) and up to 12 months in duration. Full proposals can be submitted at any time and will be considered by EPSRC on a rolling basis. This scheme will follow a non-standard format for submission and assessment, with standard EPSRC eligibility and assessment criteria being applied. Applicants as principal investigators or co-investigators can only hold one small grant at any one time. More information in this link. Requests for equipment over £10,000 in value should not be made. Holders of postdoctoral level fellowships are not eligible to apply for an EPSRC grant.
How to Apply: You should prepare and submit your proposal using the research councils’ Joint Electronic Submission system (Je-S).
