NO DEADLINE The Science and Technology Facilities Council invites applications for its return to research support bursary. This enables those seeking to resume an academic research career to develop a proposal suitable for submission to the STFC fellowship scheme. Activities undertaken may include literature reviews, familiarisation with equipment and techniques, and attendance at meetings and seminars. The period of absence could be due to family or caring responsibilities, long-term illness or working in a non-research role. Applicants must have a PhD in, and focus their application on, an area relevant to STFC-funded research. A break from active research of at least two years is normally required, but applications may be accepted from those who have had shorter breaks and do not have right to return to their previous employer. The bursary may be held at any UK institution with a recognised expertise in areas funded by STFC. The award is worth up to £2,500 over six months. Eligible costs may include additional childcare, or other care and travel to the host institution or to meetings. |

The EPSRC Manufacturing the Future challenge theme invites investigator-led proposals which address key research challenges facing manufacturing in the UK today. In an effort to increase the theme's long term ambition to increase the number of investigator led research, the theme will issue a series of batching dates during 2018 and 2019 for investigator-led proposals. Submitted proposals will either be considered at a manufacturing-focused prioritisation panel (if there is sufficient demand) or via a separate list at an Engineering panel. The next batching date will be the 12 January 2018 with a manufacturing panel to be held in May 2018 (if there is sufficient demand). Proposals submitted after these dates, or those that do not have sufficient reviews in time for the panel, will be assessed by the most appropriate panel at a later date. The Manufacturing the Future theme has prioritised funding to support investigator-led research projects in manufacturing, with up to 拢3.2 million available (dependent on demand and quality of proposals). New Investigator Awards as well as standard research proposals are invited. To maintain continuity during the two stage process, fellowship proposals will continue to be assessed at the most appropriate capability theme panel. All proposals will be assessed in accordance with standard EPSRC procedure. |
