EPSRC Funding Call for Transformative Research

A pilot call under EPSRC’s £10 million New Horizons initiative will fund up to 50 highly transformative research projects across mathematics and the physical sciences. With objectives to create a stronger research and innovation environment, UKRI is focusing on supporting talented people and potential of their work.

Projects will be funded via a streamlined process and applications invited up to a value of £200,000, for a duration of two years, without costing required in the application. The proposal paperwork submission will only consist of an anonymous four-page case for support, with a further two pages outlining the team’s ability to deliver. Successful projects will provide detailed costings after a decision has been made. Proposals are welcomed across two broad areas:

Novel physical sciences research aimed at new approaches for understanding fundamental Physics, Chemistry and Materials Science, the creation of new experimental approaches and the discovery of new molecules and materials.

Novel advances in Mathematical Sciences research across the breadth of pure and applied mathematics as well as in statistics and operational research.
