Full stage applications following EOI 31st October. STFC and EPSRC invite applications for research consortia to apply for funding as part of the Quantum Technologies for Fundamental Physics (QTFP) programme. This is a new programme which, building on the investments of the National Quantum Technology Programme, aims to demonstrate how the application of quantum technologies will advance the understanding of fundamental physics questions. The programme has total funds of up to 拢40m. The majority of funding (c. 拢36 million) will be allocated to this research call, which is looking to fund up to seven projects at upwards of 拢2 million each (at 80% fEC). Applicants wishing to submit a proposal for a large award (>拢5 million) should discuss this with STFC ahead of the submission. This research call is for research consortia, i.e. joint proposals with a common research programme from groups of researchers in more than one organisation. Successful applications will require interdisciplinary research teams comprising researchers from both the fundamental physics and quantum technology communities. The call will be open to all individuals and organisations eligible for UKRI funding. PSREs are asked to contact the office to check if they are eligible. Grants will commence on 1 May 2020 and end no later than 30 September 2023. Successful projects will be expected to show tangible outcomes and results within the lifespan of the funding. |
